Recurring patterns

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

Code Injection: The use of python's 'eval' for evaluating dynamic expressions allowed arbitrary code execution. Future dynamic evaluation must strictly use safe parsers like 'ast.literal_eval' or bounded templating systems to prevent host compromise.

Insecure Defaults: Insecure default configurations in generated Quadlet files risked running containers with excessive privileges. Hardening requires enforcing NoNewPrivileges and dropping capabilities by default.

Privilege Escalation: Executing containers via subprocesses without dropping privileges can lead to host escape. The execution environment must actively enforce no-new-privileges and drop capabilities.
