Recurring patterns

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

Command Injection: Attackers can inject arbitrary Memcached commands by passing control characters (such as CRLF) inside key names, leading to unauthorized data manipulation or cache poisoning.

Command Injection: Maliciously crafted 'cas' (Check-And-Set) parameter values can be exploited to inject arbitrary commands into the Memcached protocol stream if they are not strictly validated as numeric.
