Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Critical authorization checks in the Pub/Sub REST server failed to correctly map authenticated users to their corresponding permissions, allowing unauthorized publication, message consumption, or subscription management. Sibling entry points often lacked identical checks.

Auth Bypass: Multiple logical failures in SOAP and HTTP channel security routing allowed clients to bypass RBAC checks, match empty configurations when headers were missing, or authenticate via unvalidated signature secrets.

Auth Bypass: Administrative event handling in the REST backend frequently applied operations (like permission updates or deletions) globally to all active users instead of isolating the target user, leading to sweeping permissions modifications.
