Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Repeated authorization bypasses in context management and background event handlers allowed unauthorized clients to manipulate jobs, scenarios, and execution submissions. Developers must ensure all incoming event execution flows actively assert read and write permissions before processing tasks.
Path Traversal: Insecure file path resolution in the file upload and asset serving mechanisms allowed path traversal outside target boundaries. Using robust canonicalization and prefix-matching validation is critical whenever constructing absolute file paths from user inputs.
Auth Bypass: The backend failed to verify user permissions prior to modifying application states via variable updates, which could allow unauthorized frontend clients to manipulate server-side variables directly.
