Recurring patterns

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

SSRF: The local benchmarking script accepted arbitrary Ollama URLs, allowing attackers to access local files via the file:// protocol or make internal network requests via arbitrary schemes. This was mitigated by restricting URLs to http and https.

Command Injection: The status line snippet preparation dynamically constructed shell commands using the plugin installation path. This created a potential command injection vector if the path contained shell metacharacters, requiring an allowlist validation check on the path characters.
