Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Information Disclosure: Allowing all database columns and associations to be searchable by default exposes sensitive data to unauthorized querying. Developers must now explicitly define allowlists using `ransackable_attributes` and `ransackable_associations` to prevent accidental data leaks.
Denial of Service: Dynamic casting of input values using methods like `to_i` without verifying that the object implements the method can trigger unhandled NoMethodError exceptions, potentially crashing worker processes or exhausting resources.
