Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Insecure archive extraction can allow malicious container images or tarballs to write arbitrary files outside the target directory (Zip Slip), potentially leading to host compromise. This corresponds directly to CVE-2026-20613.

Command Injection: Untrusted context variables evaluated inside run blocks in CI workflows can allow attackers to inject shell commands, compromising build runners and potentially pushing backdoored artifacts.

Denial of Service: The internal DNS handler is vulnerable to packet-size exhaustion, where unvalidated UDP packet processing causes service crashes or hung resources.
