Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: The project relied on an insecure version of the jackson-databind library vulnerable to unsafe deserialization (CVE-2018-7489), which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious JSON payloads. Maintaining strict dependency hygiene in build specifications is paramount.
