Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Incomplete permission checks and missing path canonicalization allowed relative path traversal, bypassing VirtualFilePermission checks and exposing restricted system paths.
Privilege Escalation: Standard file operations like opening streams, checking existence, or modifying files failed under active Security Managers when callers lacked direct permissions, requiring AccessController.doPrivileged wrapper blocks.
Insecure Temporary File: The use of File.createTempFile created files with overly permissive default platform permissions, exposing sensitive virtualized resources to local local users.
