Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Subprocess invocations that bypass configured timeouts can lead to indefinite hangs, consuming system resources and blocking parent execution pipelines during VCS version extraction.
Dependency Vulnerability: Using mutable tags for GitHub Actions risks executing compromised upstream runner code, requiring pin-to-SHA configurations and explicit permission blocks to mitigate supply chain attacks.
