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

Remote Code Execution: Insecure handling of object attributes during identifier sanitization allowed execution of custom IPython display methods, creating a direct path to remote code execution.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Unsanitized dimension identifiers injected directly into Jinja templates (such as jsslider.jinja) enabled arbitrary JavaScript execution in the user's browser context.
