Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The dependabot auto-merge workflow historically relied on mutable trigger actors rather than immutable PR author checks, allowing potential execution of unauthorized code or automated merging under spoofed conditions.

Insecure Defaults: Loose truthiness checks when parsing database configurations allowed setting 'skip_ssl' to false to be interpreted as true, resulting in unencrypted, insecure database connection dumping during backups.
