Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Multiple independent auth bypasses across credential handling and RPC fencing, indicating systemic gaps in token validation and leader identity checks.
Denial of Service: Recurring DoS via decompression, deserialization, and logging, mostly fixed by dependency upgrades; PermanentBlobCache shows a non-dependency resource exhaustion path.
Deserialization: Multiple readObject/Class.forName sinks across different components, all fixed by changing classloader or class-name resolution, indicating a pervasive trust issue with untrusted serialized data.
