Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Multiple historical fixes show that client authentication and token-based authorization were repeatedly missing elevation checks or mixing token types, leading to privilege escalation.
Auth Bypass: User creation endpoint lacked proper authorization, allowing unauthorized creation of users or admins.
Weak Authentication: Token generation was both too short and used a non-cryptographic PRNG, making tokens guessable.
