Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The backend API access in the Electron-based environment could be accessed by unauthorized local windows if token generation and validation mechanisms were bypassed, which was mitigated by introducing timing-safe token verification.
Sandbox Bypass: Disabling context isolation or enabling Node.js integration within the Electron renderer process allowed an attacker who achieved XSS to escape the Chromium sandbox and execute arbitrary commands.
Auth Bypass: Untrusted workspace environments could automatically invoke sensitive capabilities, run arbitrary code templates, start Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, or execute debug sessions without user consent or explicit workspace trust checks.
