Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: The local shell backend of the VS Code AI agent allowed filesystem escape outside the workspace root, remedied by enforcing a virtual sandbox mode. Ensure all file operations inside extension runtimes validate paths against strict boundaries.
Cross-Origin Communication Bypass: The extension relies on postMessage bridges for critical features like clipboard access. Earlier designs suffered from weak or static nonce validations, allowing malicious cross-origin pages or iframes to spoof events and extract local data.
Path Traversal: Git worktree and directory operations did not canonicalize paths before execution, enabling arbitrary file/directory deletion or traversal. Ensure clean realpath-based prefix matching on all dynamic paths.
