Research direction

Start by tracing the agent pipeline and the Bugzilla request handling for security-restricted bugs. Determine how the requester’s existing Bugzilla access is established and where authorization is enforced. Done means authorized requests can act on restricted bugs while unauthorized requests remain blocked, with the relevant behavior covered by tests if the existing pipeline has them.
