Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Server-Side Request Forgery: The project's Elastic Beanstalk infrastructure configuration was vulnerable to SSRF attacks that could lead to AWS credential theft via the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS). Mitigating this requires explicitly disabling IMDSv1 and forcing IMDSv2.
Privilege Escalation: Over-privileged GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in CI/CD workflows (such as Unit Testing) present a risk of unauthorized repository modifications or secret exposure if a runner is compromised. Workflows must explicitly declare read-only permissions block defaults.
