Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Signature Bypass: Storing signatures tied to file paths allowed attackers to bypass trust by moving or renaming notebooks; moved to sqlite to decouple from paths.
Authentication Bypass: Signature verification used the stored hash scheme instead of the configured one, letting a notebook author choose a weak scheme to bypass trust.
Auth Bypass: Validator cache key omitted the relax_add_props flag, causing a relaxed validator to be reused for strict validation and letting invalid notebooks pass.
