Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Sensitive credentials, authorization headers, and custom request extensions are prone to leaking to untrusted external domains across redirect hops if they are not consistently stripped and prevented from re-insertion.
HTTP Request Smuggling: Changing HTTP request methods during a redirection (such as turning a POST into a GET) without stripping payload-related headers (like Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding) can desynchronize downstream HTTP proxies.
Path Traversal: Inadequate operating system-specific path validation in the static file serving middleware allows requests for reserved names (like DOS device names on Windows) to bypass traversal protections and hang the server.
