Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Command Injection: The orchestration framework is highly vulnerable to remote command execution through unsafe bash 'eval' calls and dynamic string interpolation inside 'sed' and 'jq' operations. Developers should use bash namerefs, proper command validators, and native jq arguments to prevent shell execution.
Auth Bypass: Agent task decomposition and write-scope extraction historically bypassed security restrictions by falling back to unconstrained monolithic execution or permissive prose parsing rather than failing closed on an explicit 'Files:' clause.
Path Traversal: The scheduler security gate suffered from path restriction bypasses due to misplaced shell 'local' variable scopes and a lack of realpath-based trailing-slash prefix checks, allowing operations outside the allowed workspace.
