Recurring patterns

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

HTTP Header Injection: Basic Authorization headers could be injected from .netrc data, potentially leading to credential theft or unauthorized access to protected resources.

SSL/TLS Bypass: Hostname verification could be disabled when verify_mode is CERT_NONE, though the fix was primarily to prevent a crash; the underlying insecure behavior remains when the user opts out of certificate checks.

Insecure Permissions: Cache database files were created with default permissions, allowing other local users to read potentially sensitive cached data.
