4 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation: Incomplete drop of privileges during user switching could allow executed subcommands to retain supplementary groups or inherit incorrect group IDs because of mismatched parameters in system calls.
Path Traversal: Allowing non-local paths or inadequate directory canonicalization within the 'exec' subcommand can lead to arbitrary file writes or unauthorized file access.
Cryptographic Weakness: Using a non-standard nonce size (32 bytes) with AES-GCM degrades cryptographic guarantees by introducing IV collision risks, which can lead to plaintext recovery.
