Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Multiple critical bypasses stem from using getServletPath() instead of getRequestURI() for exemption matching, and from legacy modules that bypassed the security filter chain entirely.

Auth Bypass: Cross-realm authentication bypasses repeatedly occurred because API keys and auth tickets were not scoped to the realm/principal collection, allowing one realm's credentials to be reused in another.

Auth Bypass: Content access control was repeatedly bypassed because permission checks either did not evaluate content selectors, used BROWSE instead of READ, or failed to filter repositories with unavailable recipes.
