- CVE-2026-82329: unauthenticated administrative access via default configuration
- CVE-2026-42018: anonymous-user token leakage to unauthenticated callers
Patterns: repeated high-severity access control and authentication flaws; default configuration vulnerabilities enabling unauthenticated administrative access
