Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: The extraction of JAR or ZIP entries without path validation allowed arbitrary file writes outside the intended target directory (Zip Slip), potentially leading to code execution.
Insecure Temporary File: Extracting native libraries to a predictable and shared local temporary path (/tmp/robolectric-libs/) created a local hijacking or privilege escalation risk if other local users pre-created or manipulated files in that location.
Privilege Escalation: Over-privileged GitHub Actions workflow tokens could be exploited by malicious pull requests to modify the repository or access secrets.
