Recurring patterns

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

XXE: Two separate fixes were required to harden XML parsers against external entity resolution, indicating a systemic weakness across multiple parsing entry points.

TLS/SSL: A custom trust manager that accepted any certificate was removed, highlighting a dangerous pattern of bypassing certificate validation.

Cryptographic Weakness: Defaulting to SSLv3 (a known-broken protocol) shows a lack of secure defaults in the proxy's SSL context.
