Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Scroll operations could bypass Document and Field Level Security (DLS/FLS) restrictions if security contexts are not validated and restored from the originating search context.

RCE: Usage of vulnerable logging frameworks like Log4j (pre-2.15.0) allowed remote code execution via log message expansion (Log4Shell).

Sandbox Escape: Untrusted scripts could execute arbitrary operations by escaping sandbox rules if ClassLoader loading is not strictly restricted via ClassPermission checks.
