Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Multiple independent auth-bypass flaws were fixed, including SSO flag misnaming, multiple-login handling, and password-vs-cookie comparison. These indicate fragile authentication logic that is prone to subtle state or property errors.
CSRF: CSRF protection was initially missing, then replaced with session-bound tokens, and WebSocket upgrades lacked CSRF validation. The WebSocket path is a distinct entry point that may not share the same token checks as HTTP routes.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive credentials (macaroons, Eclair auth, access-keys) were logged or placed in query strings. These leaks are easy to reintroduce when adding new logging or changing request parameter handling.
