Penetration testers focus on patterns rather than individual bugs. If underlying design issues remain, fixing isolated findings won’t change the overall outcome.
Common examples include inconsistent input validation, duplicated authorization logic, or insecure defaults across multiple components. Until those systemic issues are addressed, similar findings will continue to appear.
Improvement comes from architectural changes, not just patching individual vulnerabilities.
Takeaway: Sustainable security requires fixing root causes, not symptoms.
