Recurring patterns

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

XXE: Unrestricted XML parsing allowed attackers to supply crafted XML payloads leading to data serialization anomalies and external entity resolution, resulting in information disclosure or denial of service.

Path Traversal: The execution of system commands without pinning the binary path allowed the application to potentially run untrusted binaries from the current working directory instead of the system folders.

Sandbox Escape: The default configuration included disabling arguments for browser sandboxes, exposing Docker instances spawned by the manager to container escape risks.
