0 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.

Recurring patterns

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

Data Validation: Deserializing unnormalized representations of BigInt and BigUint structures can bypass internal invariants, leading to logical errors during mathematical calculations. Mitigating this requires routing all deserialization and parsing outputs through normalization constructors rather than direct struct instantiation.
