Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The UI backend endpoints exposed sensitive cluster mutations (creating and deleting runtime objects) and trial retrieval without enforcing identity verification or Kubernetes SubjectAccessReviews, exposing the cluster to unauthorized remote actions.
Privilege Escalation: Overly permissive wildcard ('*') RBAC roles and excessive ClusterRole bindings present severe opportunities for cluster-level compromise if the controller or core components are subverted.
Input Validation: Weak image reference parsing allowed potentially malicious or malformed container image formats to bypass standard validations, risking pod manipulation.
