Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The API key prefix lookup could miss the legacy 'authorization' alias, causing the 'Bearer ' prefix to be omitted and leading to authentication bypass. The fix added a fallback but sibling paths may still lack it.

Auth Bypass: Exec-based auth tokens could go stale without a refresh hook, allowing unauthorized access with expired credentials. The fix added an expiry check, but other credential sources (e.g., token files) may not have equivalent refresh logic.

Dependency Vulnerability: A subproject reference pinned an outdated yaml library with a known vulnerability. Supply-chain risk persists if other subproject references or dependency pins are not regularly updated.
