Recurring patterns

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

Prototype Pollution: The locale management API permitted arbitrary property merging which could lead to prototype pollution via keys like __proto__ or prototype, risking denial of service or remote code execution depending on application context.
Reverse Tabnabbing: External links targeting _blank without rel="noopener noreferrer" allowed destination pages to access the window.opener object, creating a phishing or redirection risk.
Reverse Tabnabbing: External links within the main App wrapper were vulnerable to reverse tabnabbing, similar to the showcase pages, indicating a lack of standardized secure link components at the time.
