Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: The validation of fields and merging rules of fragment spreads has historically suffered from O(n^2) nested loops and infinite recursion, allowing CPU exhaustion. Mitigation requires strict visited fragment tracking and hard conflict limits.
Auth Bypass: Lazy or promise-wrapped field values can bypass authentication and authorization checks if evaluation is not deferred correctly. Runtime engines must consistently synchronize lazy hooks.
Auth Bypass: Batched or deferred field resolutions are prone to state bypasses if object authorization checks are executed out-of-order or skipped when the list of returned objects is empty.
