Four-part audit (OIDC/JWT/crypto, user sync, admin UI, login bypasses)
with dynamic PoCs against a real WordPress install; every fix is covered
by a regression test. Report: docs/security-audit.md, section 6.

Critical/High
- Multisite: settings, AJAX actions and certificate download require
  manage_network_options (site admins could sign in as super admin).
- Privileged accounts are only linked (sync and first sign-in) via a
  matching UPN of a member account, never via the settable mail
  attribute; the sync never changes their e-mail address; e-mail change
  notifications stay on.
- Button-only mode exempts by credential (application passwords, WP-CLI)
  instead of request context, closing bypasses through xmlrpc.php and
  REST login handlers; API requests never receive login cookies.
- Multi-tenant mode refuses guest/external identities.

Medium/Low
- Same message for right and wrong passwords; button-only no longer
  switches off when the connection breaks; server-side fallback cookie
  expiry; correct fallback key beats IP lockouts; right-most proxy hop;
  higher start limit; one object ID per account.
- Deactivation sets a random password, revokes application passwords and
  removes the role (restored on reactivation); disabled people are
  deactivated even when their mail vanished; duplicate bindings handled.
- Sync: abort on empty directory answer, no deprovisioning right after a
  tenant change, atomic run lock, strict photo path validation.
- Certificates: key bundles refused, clean re-exported certificate.
- Array-safe sanitising, encoded redirect_to, per-action nonces, escaped
  role lists, no Graph sleeps during sign-in, warnings for public groups,
  multi-tenant group rules and missing salts, uninstall clears the token.
