Recurring patterns

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

Signature Verification Bypass: Critical flaw where Ed25519 signatures were verified against the ECDSA384 field, allowing forged signatures to pass.

Signature Verification Bypass: Type-specific signature extraction was missing; using the wrong protobuf field per key type could bypass verification.

Signature Verification Bypass: verifyTransaction() returned true even when the key did not sign, enabling authentication bypass.
