Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Third-Party Download / Code Injection: The installation process executed arbitrary downloaded hooks via child_process.spawnSync without enforcing source integrity or pinned versioning, allowing remote code execution via compromised downloads.
Command Injection: Direct PowerShell script interpolation of directory paths and configuration options into 'node -e' command line arguments allowed command injection on the host during setup.
Path Traversal: Unvalidated flag file reads through fs.readFileSync could lead to arbitrary local file disclosure if the resolved configuration paths targeted system symlinks.
