Could some of the paths result in insecure ciphers and those moments of insecurity lead to a broader compromise?
E.g. the program goes through a state that is effectively 2DES which enables a meet-in-the-middle attack which allows an attacker to jump into the path at that point and dramatically reduce the search space for the next or preceding block etc?
