Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: Attackers who control dotted paths passed to dynamic evaluation methods like `invoke` can traverse to Python's internal dunder attributes (such as `__globals__` and `__builtins__`) to execute arbitrary system commands.
Auth Bypass: Bypassing restricted-key validations allows unauthorized read or write access to sensitive object properties, potentially overriding constructor properties or internal class attributes via unvalidated path evaluation.
