Recurring patterns

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

SQL Injection: The DataSourceResourceLoader dynamically constructed SQL queries to fetch template sources from database backends, exposing the application to SQL injection if template names or parameters contained malicious payloads. This was mitigated by migrating from raw statements to Parameterized Queries using PreparedStatements.
