Recurring patterns

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

Token Permissions: Over-privileged GitHub Actions workflow tokens could be compromised to execute unauthorized API actions or write to the repository. Restricting permissions to read-only by default mitigates the risk of privilege escalation.
Insecure Download: Downloading binaries during the base image build without cryptographic checksum verification exposes the system to supply chain attacks or man-in-the-middle injection of malicious payloads.
Network Security Policy Bypass: The absence of strict reverse path filtering in the base image configuration can allow spoofed IP packets to bypass security boundaries, potentially facilitating network-based attacks on the local node.
