Auth Bypass: 3 prior fixes. Scrutinize any change in this area.
Workflows: most-fixed (3 issues). Treat as high-risk during review.
7 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Code Integrity: The application's auto-update system historically failed to validate cryptographic signatures on downloaded binaries before executing high-privilege installation flows. This allowed malicious updates to bypass macOS verification and execute code on client machines.
Auth Bypass: GitHub Actions workflows (specifically those triggered by pull requests) were vulnerable to unauthorized execution from external forks, exposing repository secrets and allowing unprivileged third-party workflow runs on infrastructure.
Path Traversal: The IPC handlers exposing filesystem operations (fs.writeFile, fs.unlink, and fs.readFile) lacked path canonicalization and directory prefix verification, leaving the system vulnerable to arbitrary local file read, write, and deletion via path traversal.
