Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Bypassing owner validation allowed GitHub App credentials to be leveraged across unauthorized organizations, leading to potential cross-tenant resource access. Developers must ensure strict ownership matching is enforced during credential resolution.

Auth Bypass: Misconfigured or overly permissive trust strategies in fork pull requests could allow unauthorized code execution from untrusted forks. Trust strategies must strictly demand Admin or Write permissions.

Missing Authorization: Missing permission checks on endpoints listing credentials allowed unauthorized users to enumerate scan credentials. Web endpoints returning dropdowns or auto-complete items must enforce explicit checks such as Item.EXTENDED_READ.
