Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The Filesystem plugin permitted directory creation (mkdir/mkdirs) on external storage without checking or requesting appropriate runtime storage permissions, creating a mechanism to write or prep files in shared storage without user authorization.
Auth Bypass: The Camera plugin directly executed the native camera interface without ensuring runtime permission checks or prompts, allowing unauthorized access to the device's video capture hardware.
Auth Bypass: The Geolocation plugin bypassed standard location permission checks when invoking device location updates, leaking user coordinates without runtime authorization.
