Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: User-controlled paths and key identifiers passed to backticks or system calls allowed attackers to inject shell commands on target systems during package setup. While signature verification features were ultimately removed, any command invocation remain a critical risk area.
Insecure Verification: Temporary keyrings used to import GPG public keys failed to clean up all imported keys beyond the first one, allowing stale keys to mistakenly validate subsequent untrusted downloads.
