Recurring patterns

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

Information Disclosure: Host environment variables and sensitive API tokens are prone to leaking into the untrusted sandboxed agent runtime unless filtered through strict allowlists. CVE-2026-24222 notes remote exfiltration of host environment variables via sandbox initialization.
SSRF: Weaknesses in the endpoint validation component allow attackers to bypass private IP/host restrictions (such as accessing IANA-reserved ranges or 0.0.0.0/8). CVE-2026-24231 tracks this SSRF vector.
Command Injection: Executing shell commands via shell interpolation allows command injection from untrusted arguments (e.g., custom sandbox names or skill paths). Hardening requires strictly transitioning to structured argument arrays.
