Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Critical race conditions and cache-invalidation issues can leave stale authorizations in memory when cache eviction occurs before database writes are fully committed.
Auth Bypass: API routes can be bypassed if access control rules secure specific HTTP methods (like PUT) but fail to bind parallel modification methods (like PATCH) to the required security scopes.
Auth Bypass: Failing to separate untrusted user-supplied claims from verified system-level claims in the flow execution engine permits downstream authorization bypasses.
