Recurring patterns

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

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): URL pattern matching rules fail to apply when the application is deployed under a non-root context path, allowing malicious payloads to bypass filtering completely. This occurs because the filter matches rules against raw request URIs that contain the context path prefix.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Supplying null or empty initialization parameters to the XssFilterDefender prevents the underlying XSS engine from initializing correctly, rendering the defender inactive and allowing raw, unfiltered user input to reach sinks.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): The project is highly susceptible to downstream security flaws within its underlying 'lucy-xss' parser engine. Vulnerabilities in the core parsing logic require explicit dependency upgrades to avoid known engine bypasses.
