Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Integrity Verification: Verification was executed against the wrong JAR file after signing, allowing a signed artifact to be replaced or a different artifact to be verified, bypassing signature checks.
Integrity Verification: Unsigned JARs could be silently accepted because the verification process did not fail when a signature was missing, unless an explicit flag was set. This weakens the integrity guarantee for consumers.
