Recurring patterns

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

Transport Security: Multiple fixes migrated API endpoints from HTTP to HTTPS, indicating a systemic risk of cleartext credential transmission if any endpoint is missed.

Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information: Two separate fixes forced HTTPS for OAuth access token requests, showing repeated vulnerability in the xAuth flow where credentials could be intercepted.

Information Disclosure: Both BasicAuthorization and OAuthAuthorization had secrets exposed in toString(), risking credential leakage through logs and debug output.
