Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Remote Code Execution: The use of unsafe deserialization via JSON.load in the MIME types loader allowed arbitrary code execution during the loading of containerized or custom MIME type definition files. While corrected by switching to JSON.parse, any future additions of custom database loaders or dynamic definitions must strictly avoid unsafe marshaling or loading methods.
