Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: Archive extraction can be exploited via directory traversal sequences in TAR headers and symlink targets to overwrite files outside the target directory. Ensure rigorous destination prefix checks and canonicalization.
Auth Bypass: Exposing powerful command-line invocations over local RPC without strict input validation and access control allows local malicious actors to execute arbitrary code via the Home interface.
Command Injection: The preprocessor constructs shell execution commands using input metadata from INO files, opening avenues for arbitrary system execution if special shell characters are not stripped.
