1 high-severity fix in this history; regressions here are high-impact.

Recurring patterns

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

Padding Oracle: Decryption failures and JSON parse failures previously returned distinguishable errors, allowing an attacker to recover plaintext via adaptive chosen-ciphertext queries. The fix unifies responses, but any future code path that re-introduces distinct error messages or timing differences would reopen the oracle.

Security Update Delivery Bypass: The Dependabot configuration had open-pull-requests-limit set to 0, which suppressed version updates and could leave known vulnerabilities unpatched. The fix re-enabled security updates, but misconfiguration in CI or dependency automation could silently reintroduce this gap.
