Attackers often exploit the gaps developers didn't consider. An unexpected null value in an authentication function can be a golden ticket, allowing them to bypass security controls. This was the case with a critical bug in NextAuth.js, where a function returned null instead of a user token. This kind of flaw, a true raw null state that the system wasn't designed to handle, is a major red flag. It demonstrates why proactive threat detection is so essential. You need to monitor for anomalous behavior, not just known threats, to catch the subtle issues that can compromise your entire security posture.
