Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Sandbox Escape: Directly exposing sensitive APIs on the shared window object allowed renderer-side scripts to escape the Electron sandbox. Migrating to contextBridge is critical to enforce true context isolation.
Command Injection: Unsanitized input in the Linux autostart configuration allowed arbitrary shell command execution via unescaped metacharacters in the Desktop Entry Exec path.
CORS Misconfiguration: Exposing credentials on the local IPFS daemon's HTTP headers allowed untrusted cross-origin sites to execute unauthorized read operations against the local API.
