Framework parses JSON before handler gets it. Signature verification fails. Developer disables it "temporarily." Ships to production. Hundreds of Stack Overflow questions document this exact pattern. Your app processes real Stripe events correctly. Nothing looks wrong. The vulnerability is invisible until someone sends a fake event. -> http://vibecodiq.com/go/webhook-trust-gap/11
