Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Forked JVM processes communicate back to the host process over TCP loopback channels. Without strong authentication tokens, local attackers could potentially intercept, spoof, or inject commands into the control channel.
Command Injection: Executing external processes on Windows via CmdShell requires rigorous argument and path quoting. Improperly quoted arguments can result in command injection when special shell characters are parsed by the OS shell.
