Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation: The passwordless sudoers configuration template previously allowed execution of the entire bench CLI and supervisorctl, permitting unprivileged local attackers to execute arbitrary system operations as root.
Privilege Escalation: Flawed privilege dropping logic relied solely on os.seteuid, leaving supplementary groups and the real UID/GID intact, which allowed spawned processes to retain administrative capability.
Privilege Escalation: Running recursive ownership changes with chown on the tilde symbol under root privilege evaluated to the root user's home directory instead of the application user's path, creating broad structural risks.
