Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Constructing metadata and container credentials from relative paths or untrusted sources without strict canonicalization and loopback checks allows local/remote attackers to hijack credentials.
Command Injection: Relying on single-string parsing for shell execution via ProcessBuilder invites argument injection from untrusted configuration inputs.
Path Traversal: Local file-writing helpers that download S3 keys to local directories are vulnerable to directory traversal if they resolve relative paths ('..') without explicit boundary checks.
