Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: Repeated vulnerabilities allowed arbitrary shell execution via unsafe subprocess invocations with shell=True and string interpolation within file and web search tools. Mitigation requires strict adherence to list-form command execution without shell interpretation.

Insecure Deserialization: Arbitrary code execution was possible when loading untrusted weights/checkpoints using PyTorch. Restricting deserialization to safe tensor data types is necessary to mitigate this threat.

Denial of Service: Dynamic code execution using the 'exec' built-in was vulnerable to process termination via unhandled SystemExit exceptions raised by remote users.
