Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Prototype Pollution: Recursive key-setting logic within index.js allows attackers to supply malicious payloads (using '__proto__' or 'constructor') that overwrite properties on the global Object.prototype, leading to remote code execution or application crashes. This pattern is tracked under CVE-2021-44906 and CVE-2020-7598.
Denial of Service: Unsafe assumptions about input argument types can cause runtime crashes. Specifically, calling String methods like `.match()` on non-string (e.g., numeric) argument values throws unhandled exceptions that terminate the Node process.
