Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Calling getConnection(username, password) with distinct credentials incorrectly fell back to returning a pooled connection authenticated with default credentials. Developers must ensure separate credentials always yield fully isolated connection instances rather than returning recycled pool connections.
Auth Bypass: The getNonPooledConnection method historically ignored dynamic user credentials passed via the API, delegating instead to the default credentials on the connection factory. This allowed users to bypass authentication checks by receiving sessions tied to the default system user.
