Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Critical configuration endpoints such as doExport and schema/reference views failed to enforce appropriate ADMINISTER permissions and POST-only constraints, allowing unauthorized access to system-level setup details.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive configurations, such as SMTP and proxy passwords, are susceptible to being leaked in plaintext during export or logging unless explicitly marked as Secret and redacted by the configurators.
Path Traversal: Resolving secrets from the file system (such as Docker secrets or property files) without verifying that the resolved path is a regular file allows attackers to trigger arbitrary file reading or application misbehavior.
