Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: A critical failure in target contract validation allowed spoofing of arbitrary L2 accounts by targeting sensitive on-chain messaging functions. This could lead to unauthorized L2 message execution.

Denial of Service: Lack of EIP-150 compliant gas validation inside try/catch blocks executing external calls enabled malicious actors to trigger out-of-gas manipulation on state transitions, forcing contract execution stalls.

Reentrancy: The WithdrawalsRelay was vulnerable to reentrancy attacks, allowing attackers to perform nested execution of withdrawals before states are updated, bypassing Checks-Effects-Interactions boundaries.
