Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The project resolved a critical vulnerability by upgrading the cosmos-sdk and incorporating the Dragonberry security fix for ICS23 proof verification, which could have allowed malicious actors to bypass cryptographic security invariants.
Denial of Service: The gRPC-Web server lacked read, write, and idle timeout limits, leaving it vulnerable to connection-exhaustion and slow-client DoS vectors.
Denial of Service: Protobuf decoding was vulnerable to heap exhaustion and panic states when deserializing untrusted, deeply nested, or excessively large message streams.
