Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Download: Fetching Debian packages over unencrypted HTTP channels without integrity verification allows local network adversaries to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and execute arbitrary code inside the built container image.

Insecure Download: Downloading GPG repository keys over HTTP without verification allows attackers to substitute trusted keys and subsequently sign and distribute malicious packages into the container apt keyring.

Incorrect Permission Assignment: Failing to re-enforce strict folder ownership during both fresh installations and package upgrade scripts can leave runtime directories with insecure permissions, potentially allowing local unprivileged users to escalate privileges.
