August 2025: Delivered Access Control Hardening in VKCOM/statshouse, refactoring access control logic to remove insecureMode and rely on bitAdmin for administrative checks. The change streamlines access checks, strengthens governance over sensitive operations, and improves error handling for empty access tokens. Adjustments to user identifier handling in insecure mode were included to maintain compatibility during the transition. These changes reduce the risk of privilege escalation and lay groundwork for further hardening.
