Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Plugins could bypass authorization checks if permissions are matched solely on easily spoofed names. Robust identity verification via cryptographic identifier hashes must be bound to the permission state to ensure caller authenticity.
Auth Bypass: Stale in-memory permission states allowed plugins to execute unauthorized actions. Real-time validation against the underlying persistent storage (localStorage) is required to ensure revoked permissions are respected immediately.
