Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: Attackers can escape their designated DApp application directory via path manipulation in IPFS MFS file operations. Multiple fixes show a pattern of inadequate path canonicalization and failure to handle multi-argument structures in files operations.
Auth Bypass: Untrusted web applications can execute privileged IPFS RPC commands by bypassing the command dispatcher, spoofing port metadata, or exploiting pre-authorized whitelists. Defending this boundary requires retrieving origin details directly from the browser API rather than trusting sender-provided metadata.
Prototype Pollution: Using standard JavaScript objects for permission and access control tracking enables prototype pollution and parameter injection attacks. Storing tracking maps with null prototypes or explicit Map structures is required.
