Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Automated parent directory creation operations failed to properly propagate user-provided ACLs, creating directories with insecure default permissions. Developers must ensure path canonicalization and strict validation are applied during directory hierarchy generation.
Auth Bypass: Intermediate parent nodes automatically created via helper classes like EnsurePath could bypass the application's defined ACLProvider, reverting to unsafe open ACLs.
Auth Bypass: Bypasses of client-side schema policies were possible during 'setACL' operations due to a lack of schema validation checks before persisting ACL changes.
