Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Insecure handling of file paths during save, load, and deletion operations allows directory traversal, potentially enabling attackers to read or overwrite sensitive system files. This was addressed by introducing path canonicalization and prefix verification to ensure target files remain confined within the designated storage directory.
