Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Mutations to vault policies designed to apply more restrictive rules would fail to override existing capabilities because the backing collection did not correctly evict the old entry during addition. This allows unauthorized actions to persist under outdated permissive policies.
Auth Bypass: Defaulting to AWS Instance Metadata Service version 1 (IMDSv1) allowed metadata retrieval without session token enforcement, exposing the EC2-based Vault authentication workflow to potential SSRF-driven credential harvesting.
