Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Mismanagement of catalog session properties and stale authorization tokens can lead to severe authentication bypasses, potentially exposing unauthorized catalog operations or permitting unauthorized overriding of credential parameters.

Race Condition: Concurrent token refreshes and shared state modifications on OAuth session headers can lead to race conditions where thread-unsafe operations mix headers or access stale authorization states.

Information Disclosure: Reusing HTTP clients across separate catalog instances can result in cross-tenant credential leakage when authorization headers or base URIs are mistakenly cached or carried over.
