Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Attackers can bypass node identity verification if the network layer doesn't bind the physical connection's peer identity to the logical peer index claimed inside broadcast messages, allowing malicious message spoofing.
Cryptographic Signature Verification Bypass: Failing to map partial signatures to their valid public key shares before performing threshold aggregation allows invalid, unverified, or rogue signatures to corrupt the aggregated result.
Signature Forgery: Byzantine peers can cause consensus deviations or forge valid threshold signatures if the engine aggregates partial signatures without first ensuring that all underlying signed data payloads are identical.
