Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Command Injection: Command execution can occur if file names containing shell metacharacters are passed to subprocesses without proper escaping. Safe shell quoting must be consistently applied across all execution paths.
Path Traversal: File system reading operations can be manipulated to traverse outside the repository root if user/LLM-supplied paths are not canonicalized and matched against a strict prefix check.
Path Traversal: Git operations and repository commands must enforce strict boundaries to prevent adding or promoting files located outside of the designated workspace root.
