Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: The save hook was highly vulnerable to command execution via inline python command interpolation, which was resolved by migrating to structured argument passing via sys.argv.

Command Injection: The precompact shell hook parsed input strings using unsafe shell evaluation, inviting command injection until it was refactored to read safely via mapfile.

Path Traversal: Unvalidated path resolution permitted directory traversal and arbitrary file reads, resolved by applying canonicalization and verifying that resolved paths stay within allowed directory prefixes.
