Recurring patterns

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

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Deserializing untrusted database payloads using unsafe object serialization pathways can lead to arbitrary code execution (ACE) within the application context. This risk is particularly severe when automatic deserialization of complex or arbitrary types is left enabled by default.
