Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The AI proxy plugin and its provider sub-components are highly vulnerable to authentication and authorization bypasses due to header manipulation issues, including incorrect routing context, failure to strip incoming original auth headers, and dynamic credential-injection flaws.

Denial of Service: Wasm extensions are highly susceptible to memory-exhaustion DoS due to unbounded response and request buffering, as well as unhandled URL parsing panics or redundant execution resumption calls that trigger gateway crashes.

Information Disclosure: Failing to strip incoming original client Authorization headers when forwarding requests to upstream AI providers can leak administrative or client credentials to external third-party services.
