Recurring patterns

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

Improper Certificate Validation: The client component did not configure SSLParameters to use endpoint identification algorithms during TLS handshakes, leading to silent acceptance of certificates that mismatched the target domain. This is tracked under CVE-2020-11050.

Insecure TLS: A lack of host validation on the underlying SSLSocket allowed SSL/TLS handshakes to succeed without verifying the host identity, undermining the authenticity of secure WebSocket connections.
