Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Multiple high-severity fixes address missing or weak authorization checks, including signature replay in AffiliateValidator, unverified universe addresses in MarketFactory, and public visibility of approveInternal in StandardToken. These allow unauthorized actions or fund theft.
Access Control: Missing operator approval checks, public state visibility, and caller-controlled sender parameters in token functions enable unauthorized transfers and state manipulation.
Information Disclosure: Hardcoded private keys, sensitive data logging, localStorage persistence, and plaintext download links expose credentials or user data to attackers or shared-device users.
