Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Insecure handling of administrative credentials and weak verification allowed attackers to execute unauthorized PowerShell commands, which was resolved by migrating to environment-variable-based credentials and adding verification code validation.

Auth Bypass: Attackers could bypass authentication and escalate privileges to superuser levels due to missing preflight command parsing checks that allowed interactive commands like sudo, su, and pkexec.

Command Injection: The use of child_process.execSync with unescaped CLI parameters allowed arbitrary command execution, requiring a migration to safer argument-array-based APIs.
