Recurring patterns

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

Dependency Vulnerability: Six separate fixes address known CVEs in core libraries (Snappy-Java, SnakeYAML, Jackson, Gson, Spring Boot), indicating a systemic lag in dependency updates that exposes the server to remote code execution and deserialization attacks.

Auth Bypass: Basic authentication was added to Elasticsearch requests only when credentials are set, but a sibling fix reveals the health-check path initially bypassed this, allowing unauthenticated access to storage metadata.

Auth Bypass: BasicAuthInterceptor was moved to a shared location and applied to health check requests, fixing a gap where health endpoints could be probed without credentials, leaking Elasticsearch availability.
