Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Attackers can exploit insufficient path validation in the 'include_code' tag plugin to read arbitrary local files. The fix validated requested files against the registered Pages database model instead of performing raw file reads. This corresponds directly to CVE-2023-39584.

Path Traversal: The console Web UI's files middleware did not block dot-prefixed paths, allowing directory traversal and arbitrary file viewing or modification via the files web interface.

Reflected XSS: The list_tags helper failed to escape HTML tag names by default, allowing malicious tag names to trigger stored or reflected XSS during static site generation.
