Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Misinterpretation of response dictionary structures can lead to complete firewall validation bypasses, where blocked users are incorrectly marked as allowed.

Denial of Service: An unused but active administrative 'KILL' IPC command was exposed in the background process, allowing unauthorized process termination.

Path Traversal: The built-in file open operation lacked validation, potentially allowing attackers to read or write sensitive local files via standard traversal sequences.
