Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Stored XSS: Attackers uploading SVG files can embed malicious JavaScript. The application previously relied on insecure signature checks before adopting rigorous sanitization. Any new file ingestion pathways must strictly enforce SVG sanitization rules.
Denial of Service: Image decompression bomb attacks can exhaust server memory and crash the application if pixel-dimension limits are not enforced during file upload validation.
Auth Bypass: Insufficent ownership filters and permission checks inside virtual item views allowed non-privileged users to access or alter files in shared or unfiled root directories belonging to other users.
