Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: Unsafe invocation of subprocesses with shell execution enabled or missing argument sanitization allows attackers to execute arbitrary system commands, particularly when processing developer-controlled gcov arguments or paths. This risk is highlighted by CVE-2019-10800.

Command Injection: Platform-specific command execution behaviors, such as how arguments are handled on Windows versus Unix systems, can bypass standard sanitization efforts unless OS-specific quoting is robustly applied.

Insecure TLS Validation: Disabling or failing to configure proper TLS certificate verification when uploading coverage data to remote endpoints like S3 exposes the uploader to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
