Recurring patterns

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

Arbitrary File Read: A rogue MySQL server can request arbitrary local files from the client during a LOCAL INFILE exchange if the client does not strictly canonicalize and verify the requested path against the original request.

Remote Code Execution: Parsing option and configuration files using dynamic evaluation functions like `eval` allows local or remote configuration files to execute arbitrary python code.

SQL Injection: Iterative string replacement for parameter interpolation in database queries can lead to SQL injection when handling complex dictionary-based query parameters.
