Recurring patterns

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

Server-Side Request Forgery: The request handler's connection creation mechanism historically accepted arbitrary URI schemes, allowing an attacker to fetch local files using file:// URIs or pivot to internal network services. Secure scheme validation must be consistently applied to block non-HTTP protocols.
