Recurring patterns

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

Incorrect Permission Assignment: Private keys extracted during deployment processes were initially created with overly permissive default filesystem permissions before being added to the ssh-agent. This created a narrow window of exposure where local unauthorized users or concurrent processes could potentially read the sensitive deploy key. Ensuring strict permissions (0600) immediately upon extraction or decryption prevents unauthorized local reading of sensitive credentials.
