Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: The logging component sends notification emails via popen-based mailers, which are susceptible to command and argument injection if destination addresses are not rigorously validated. Future modifications to email-sending utilities must preserve strict alphanumeric-start regex validation.
Memory Safety: Stateful pointer arithmetic in the C++ demangler's ParseIdentifier can result in stack buffer overflows if remaining string bounds are not explicitly checked. Any future parsing additions must strictly enforce current-offset limits.
Memory Corruption: Use-after-free (UAF) vulnerabilities occur when pointers are bound to temporary std::string objects whose lifetime ends before the pointer is consumed, particularly within internal helper routines like SendEmailInternal.
