Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Recursive evaluation of parent nodes was missing, permitting callers to bypass checks that depended on inheritance. Developers should ensure nested hierarchies are fully resolved during permission lookups.
Sandbox Escape: Plugins could override core JVM classes within the custom class loader, breaking class-loader isolation constraints. Ensure that the delegating class loader prioritizes and protects JDK platform packages.
Path Traversal: Insufficent validation allowed accessing files outside designated directories. Path traversal mitigations must enforce path canonicalization paired with prefix checks.
