Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Frequent authorization bypasses occurred where unauthenticated, blocked, or deleted users could view private communities, threads, or channels because permission utilities did not reliably enforce explicit blocklists or authentication states.

CORS Misconfiguration: Permissive regular expressions without strict boundary constraints allowed any external domain matching wildcard configurations (e.g., evilzeit.sh or evil-spectrum.chat) to make authorized cross-origin requests.

Auth Bypass: The custom `@isAuthed` authorization directive was broken due to a migration gap and dependency on deprecated Apollo features, leaving decorated fields open to unauthenticated access.
