Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Attackers can bypass authentication controls by spoofing identity attributes within X.509 client certificates. Because of naive regex-based DN parsing and incorrect parsing of multiple Common Name (CN) attributes, the extractor could select an incorrect or attacker-controlled identity.
Auth Bypass: Misconfigurations in security path matchers can lead to complete authorization bypasses if custom base-path matches are silently ignored due to missing bean lookups or discarded builder return values.
Auth Bypass: Race conditions in single-use token consumption allow concurrent requests to reuse the same token if the database deletion state is not atomically verified, undermining token-based authentication mechanisms.
