Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Authentication Bypass: The most frequent and severe class; fixes range from binding identity keys into MACs to blocking unauthenticated message processing, indicating systemic gaps in verifying sender/recipient identity and session state.
Cryptographic Key Management: Multiple fixes address prekey generation/rotation, key reuse (replay), and rotation of backup keys, indicating a high risk of stale or mismatched keys leading to decryption failures or unauthorized access.
Integrity Bypass / Message Integrity: Multiple fixes add MAC/verification tags or validation to prevent tampering of messages and attachments, indicating a recurring weakness in integrity checks on decrypt/import paths.
