Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: User-supplied request attributes can overwrite reserved security expression variables (like 'user' or 'role'), allowing malicious actors to manipulate context variables and completely bypass security expression checks.
Auth Bypass: Incompatibility between Symfony 3.4 Role objects and the security expression evaluator could cause checks to silently fail or pass incorrectly, necessitating normalization of roles to string representations.
