Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: Untrusted input concatenated directly into JsonPath expressions was executed via GroovyShell, allowing arbitrary code execution on the host. Developers must enforce strict parameter binding rather than string formatting.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive credentials and Authorization headers could be leaked into console or application logs due to case-sensitive blacklist filtering on header keys. All header matching must be case-insensitive.
Information Disclosure: Switching or resetting the authentication scheme to none failed to actively strip previously set Authorization headers, resulting in unintended credential transmission.
