Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Failure to explicitly throw exceptions when user credentials fail validation allowed the system to generate and return empty JWT tokens, resulting in complete authentication bypass.
Auth Bypass: Lack of explicit response termination (e.g., returning 401 status and halting execution) in JWT filters when processing invalid tokens allowed unauthorized requests to reach downstream services.
Auth Bypass: Retrieval of sensitive user details from RPC endpoints occurred via simple username lookup without validating the requester's actual password credentials.
