Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Insecure extraction of ZIP archives (Zip Slip) allows attackers to write arbitrary files onto the filesystem by using path traversal sequences within archive entry names.

Path Traversal: Archive entry names are not validated against the destination directory during extraction in the GrobidHomeFinder component, leading to arbitrary file write vectors.

ReDoS: Backtracking regexes used for matching author names and citation metadata ('et al.') allow attackers to trigger extreme CPU utilization and service denial via specifically crafted input payloads.
