Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Security Misconfiguration: S3 getObject/upload calls without ExpectedBucketOwner allow bucket sniping, where a malicious bucket with the same name can be substituted. This affects multiple admin catalog routes and a shared utility, indicating a systemic lack of ownership validation.
Improper Access Control: S3 buckets lacked PublicAccessBlockConfiguration, allowing public ACLs and policies that could expose data. This is a foundational misconfiguration affecting all buckets defined in the template.
Auth Bypass: API calls were made before the auth token was ready, allowing unauthorized access to backend methods. The fix waits for the token, but any other client-side service could repeat this pattern.
