Recurring patterns

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

Cryptographic Signature Verification Bypass: Improper message preprocessing allowed signatures to be validated against unhashed or incorrectly processed message formats, compromising the DKG protocol's authenticity guarantees.

Signature Verification Bypass: Failing to correctly handle and propagate signature verification return codes inside EVM precompiles allowed invalid signatures to be treated as valid.

Denial of Service: Unbounded processing of slashing operations inside on_initialize hooks posed a direct blockchain halt risk by exceeding maximum allowable block execution times.
