Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Inconsistent case-matching configuration for the 'DISABLE_AUTH' setting and missing access controls on user creation API endpoints allowed unauthorized users to register accounts or bypass authentication checks completely.
Path Traversal: Insecure handling of Docker Compose project paths and names allowed directory traversal outside the designated base directory during metadata operations, file searches, and name validation.
Auth Bypass: Container management, deployment, and logs WebSocket streaming endpoints lacked authentication checks during API refactoring, allowing unauthorized clients to execute actions or view container logs.
