Recurring patterns

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

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Unsafe PHP unserialize calls on incoming PubSub messages (such as Redis channel data) allow remote code execution when horizontal scaling is enabled. This was tracked via CVE-2026-23524.

Auth Bypass: Failure to rigorously verify signatures or using non-constant-time comparisons (like non-strict inequality checks on signatures) allowed attackers to bypass authentication and execute privileged actions.

Broken Access Control: Gaps in subscription state verification allowed broadcast events to leak to unsubscribed clients, undermining data isolation in real-time channels.
