Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Multiple fixes target panics, integer overflows, and resource exhaustion from malformed or oversized network input, indicating a broad attack surface where remote users can crash the server.
Auth Bypass: Critical and high-severity fixes address missing validation of encryption tokens, JWT chains, proxy tokens, and authentication URLs, allowing attackers to bypass authentication entirely.
Sandbox Escape / Permission Bypass / Signature Bypass: The plugin loader has been hardened against sandbox escapes, permission bypasses, signature bypasses, and memory corruption, indicating it is a high-value target for malicious plugins.
