Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Multiple independent fixes in the accounts plugin show a pattern of authentication bypasses: unvalidated accounts, cached credentials, and encoding issues. This is a high-risk surface with repeated mistakes.
Auth Bypass: Multiple fixes in the authorization policy show a pattern of missing or incorrect permission checks, including guest access, private permissions, and principal handling. This is a core component where mistakes lead to broad authorization bypasses.
Auth Bypass: Fixes in the core authorization module address permission check gaps, resource name parsing, and namespace handling. These are fundamental authorization logic errors that can affect all resources.
