Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Malicious POM files can declare crafted repository identifiers to escape local storage directories and overwrite or read arbitrary files on the local filesystem during resolution. Developers must ensure repository IDs are validated and canonicalized before resolution paths are calculated.

Credential Leak: Sharing a common credential provider for both endpoint servers and intermediate proxy servers can result in server authentication secrets being inadvertently sent to the proxy, exposing credentials over untrusted network segments.
