Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Sandbox Escape: Document conversion processes executed without restricting input options allowed untrusted documents to read arbitrary local files or execute code. The fix mitigated this by enabling pandoc's '--sandbox' flag by default inside the internal _convert_input process.
Credential Leakage: A loose substring match on the target download URL allowed GitHub API tokens to be sent to external, attacker-controlled domains containing the 'github.com' substring. This was resolved by implementing an exact host allowlist check prior to adding sensitive headers.
