Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: The application accepted untrusted user-provided filenames to read and write files, allowing attackers to escape the intended directory. This was mitigated by strictly routing uploads through tempfile.gettempdir() rather than using user-supplied paths directly.
Denial of Service: Converting complex or malformed uploaded profile files to JSON can cause extreme processing delays. A 10-second multiprocessing timeout was introduced to terminate runaway worker processes and prevent server-wide denial of service.
Denial of Service: Converting profile stats to tree dictionaries was susceptible to infinite recursion and stack exhaustion when handling cyclic or complex profile structures. A recursion guard using a visited tracking set was implemented to prevent crashes.
