Recurring patterns

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

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Insecure direct construction of DOM nodes in the toolbar panels using sink functions like `.html()` and `jQuery.after` allows malicious payloads inside application state to execute code in the context of the debugging session.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Rendering credentials and debug variables via dynamic innerHTML assignments in click handlers exposes developers to XSS if sensitive values are injected with script tags. Swapping to textContent is required to neutralize this threat vector.
