Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Insecure TLS Configuration: The development server previously configured legacy, insecure protocols (SSLv3 and TLSv1.0) which are vulnerable to cryptographic attacks like POODLE. Ensuring the modern Python `ssl` library context enforces safe TLS protocol versions is critical.
Auth Bypass: Failing to properly populate WSGI environment variables like 'HTTPS' = 'on' causes Django framework helper methods (such as `request.is_secure()`) to return false-negatives, potentially bypassing secure cookie checks or redirect policies.
