Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Download: Downloading compiler binaries without cryptographic checksum verification allows a network-positioned attacker or compromised mirror to serve malicious binaries that execute arbitrary code on the user's system.

SSRFT: Unvalidated URL schemes in binary download or version listing requests allow local file read or internal request forgery if an attacker can manipulate the download URL to use schemes like file:// or gopher://.
