Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The authentication middleware previously accepted and decoded unverified JWT tokens without signature validation, which allowed complete authentication bypass. Additionally, failed or unverified tokens were stored in session state rather than being discarded immediately.
Auth Bypass: Flaws in state handling allowed session hijacking and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). This included a lack of strict OAuth state parameter validation and an insecure fallback mechanism where single-user mode returned arbitrary stored credentials when requested credentials were missing.
Path Traversal: The system allowed arbitrary local file disclosure and traversal via file:// URLs because it initially trusted the entire user home directory. Malicious prompts or inputs could escape the designated attachment folder and read sensitive files.
