Highlights
Denial of Service: 11 prior fixes. Scrutinize any change in this area.
lib/vector-core/src/tls/settings.rs: most-fixed (3 issues). Treat as high-risk during review.
24 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Multiple fixes address memory exhaustion via oversized or nested compressed frames and unbounded decompression, indicating a recurring weakness in untrusted input size validation across network sources.
TLS/SSL Verification Bypass: TLS verification settings are frequently omitted or misapplied when constructing proxy connectors or dialing proxies, enabling MITM attacks. Multiple fixes correct the same root cause in different components.
Auth Bypass: Authentication bypasses arise from insecure CI triggers (pull_request_target), missing mTLS client certificates, and missing authorization checks on metrics endpoints. These are distinct but high-impact gaps.
