Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Subdirectory resolution for query outputs using string manipulation rather than relative path calculation allowed arbitrary traversal. Developers should ensure query target directories are strongly restricted to a safe base path.
Denial of Service: Scanning data source directories without file size limits allowed massive source files to exhaust server memory during reads. Developers must enforce size limits before buffer allocations.
Insecure Permissions: Generating parquet files without explicit Unix permissions allowed the default umask to potentially make sensitive analytic assets readable or writable by other local users.
