Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Improper validation and rollback handling during expression resolution under the Java Security Manager can allow deployments with unvalidated permissions, potentially bypassing sandbox constraints. This shares conceptual similarities with historical flaws such as CVE-2020-10718 where classloader settings bypassed the security manager.
Auth Bypass: Failing to wrap security realms (e.g., Custom, FileSystem, Jaas, Jdbc, Ldap, Properties) in rate-limiting or brute-force protections leaves authentication mechanisms open to credential-stuffing and brute-force attacks. This operates alongside critical identity propagation risks found in Elytron (e.g., CVE-2019-3894, CVE-2022-0866).
Insecure Dependency: Using unverified remote Maven Wrapper binary distributions leaves the build pipeline vulnerable to man-in-the-middle or supply-chain compromise if SHA-256 checksum verification is not strictly enforced.
