Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Mass Assignment: Code-generation templates for CakePHP entities previously initialized the accessible properties mapping in a format that could lead to unintended mass assignment vulnerabilities in applications built with the tool.
Mass Assignment: The model scaffolding task generated mass-assignable fields without excluding primary keys, which allowed downstream users to inadvertently expose database identifiers to client-side modification.
Insecure Defaults: Project creation routines failed to properly replace default security salt and cipher seed placeholder configurations due to outdated regex matching, leaving generated applications with weak, predictable cryptographic defaults.
