Recurring patterns

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

Improper Certificate Validation: Misconfiguration of SSL verification parameters (such as an empty config or a string-based certificate bundle path) could silently disable SSL peer verification entirely, exposing clients to potential man-in-the-middle attacks.

Missing Cryptographic Signature Verification: Insufficient validation of repository metadata, signatures, key-to-role mappings, and thresholds allows untrusted repository targets to bypass authorization controls.

Path Traversal: Insecure handling of package entry point command names in 'noarch:python' can lead to directory traversal outside of the designated installation directory.
