Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service (DoS): Recursive or deeply nested input structures processed by JSONTokener can lead to stack overflow exceptions or excessive memory allocation, causing application crashes. This represents a severe risk for applications accepting untrusted payloads.
Cookie Injection: Inadequate serialization encoding in the Cookie.toString output generator historically permitted attackers to inject malicious cookie attributes. Ensuring keys and values are aggressively validated and encoded before appending prevents session manipulation and attribute overrides.
