Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: Shell commands executed with untrusted CLI task arguments are highly vulnerable to injection if arguments are not properly sanitized and quoted prior to execution.

Command Injection: Using string interpolation in shell execution functions like execSync for package version lookups permits command execution unless replaced with argument-safe variants.

Arbitrary Code Execution: Temporary package installations can execute malicious third-party lifecycle scripts unless execution safety policies like YARN_ENABLE_SCRIPTS are disabled during runtime installations.
