# Pattern Exhaustion
When you find a vulnerability, you have found a PATTERN. The same developer
who wrote one broken auth check likely wrote twenty. The same framework that
misses one guard has a systemic design gap. One root cause → multiple CVEs.
Real-world examples:
- Parse Server: 4 advisories from guard bypass patterns (prototype chain,
falsy-value guard, protected-field bypass, complexity validator)
- zrok: 3 advisories from access control (symlink traversal, broken ownership,
reflected XSS in callback)
- AVideo: 3 advisories from deployment config (SSRF, exposed installer,
memcached session leak)
