Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Uncaught TypeErrors during type resolution of untrusted objects can crash the Node.js process. Attackers can trigger this by passing objects with non-function constructors or constructors with undefined names, directly impacting application availability.
Denial of Service: External user input can manipulate type detection behavior by overwriting internal attributes of constructors (such as 'name'), allowing attackers to bypass security checks or cause unexpected runtime errors in downstream libraries.
