Recurring patterns

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

Information Disclosure: Sensitive credentials and authorization headers (e.g., Cookie, Authorization) are highly prone to leaking downstream. Failure to isolate cookie management or correctly track route-specific versus global sensitive headers has repeatedly led to unintentional exposure.
Auth Bypass: Misconfigured or overridden ignored header lists allow security-critical headers to bypass filtration mechanisms during gateway routing, enabling downstream authorization bypass.
HTTP Parameter Pollution: Improper handling and encoding of raw incoming query parameters during request reconstruction and routing can allow attackers to inject control characters or duplicate parameters to manipulate downstream business logic.
