Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Cryptographic Weakness: Multiple fixes address weak or missing cryptographic validation, including invalid curve attacks, weak nonces, and improper key handling, which can lead to private key exposure or forgery.
Auth Bypass: Several authentication bypasses stem from incomplete handshake validation or missing sender checks, allowing unauthorized access or forgery.
Consensus Bypass: Consensus bypasses arise from missing validation of gas limits, stack sizes, or block ordering, enabling invalid blocks or state corruption.
