Recurring patterns

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

Unsafe Deserialization: Deserialization of untrusted data in HTTP session management allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or trigger denial of service. Remediating this requires strict, explicitly configured JEP 290 object input filters to prevent unauthorized classes from being loaded during deserialization.

Auth Bypass: Flaws in Apache Shiro integration within the core security framework can allow attackers to bypass critical security managers. Keeping Shiro and its security realms fully integrated and updated is necessary to prevent unauthorized access to cluster resources.

Path Traversal: File-handling capabilities in command execution entry points like DeployCommand allow arbitrary file access or writing via path traversal (CWE-22) when paths are not canonicalized. SecurePathResolver must be consistently applied to ensure all file paths reside within designated safe boundaries.
