Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Attackers could bypass STARK proof validation by exploiting implicit or untrusted fields within the proof structure rather than validating against an explicit, caller-provided Claim, or by manipulating untrusted padded_height values.
Cryptographic Issues: Omitting critical structural parameters (like the Claim itself) from the Fiat-Shamir transcript enables proof forgeability and substitution attacks during STARK verification.
Cryptographic Vulnerability: Excluding the FRI polynomial from the Fiat-Shamir transcript state allows a dishonest prover to modify the polynomial after random challenges are sampled, undermining soundness.
