Recurring patterns

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

JSON Injection: Unsanitized meter names, tag keys, or tag values can allow attackers to inject arbitrary JSON elements into telemetry payloads sent to New Relic, corrupting dashboards or metrics.
JSON Injection: Dynamic metric tags sent to SignalFx without proper JSON escaping can manipulate the structure of the API request payload.
JSON Injection: Lack of character escaping in Wavefront metric naming conventions permits control characters to leak into the exported telemetry payload.
