Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Recursive inheritance and traversal bugs during rule evaluation (such as premature stopping on DENY rules or incorrect sibling array merging) can result in unexpected privilege escalation or access grants.
Auth Bypass: Flaws in mapping resources (such as treating resource objects differently from their string identifiers, or mismanaging null/global resources) prevent the engine from accurately identifying which rule set applies, causing a total bypass of access controls.
