Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: The use of pickle.load to deserialize data received over network sockets allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The fix introduced HMAC-SHA256 signature verification using a randomly generated key to prevent processing of unsigned or tampered pickle payloads. Developers must ensure that no alternative or bypass channels accept unsigned pickled data.
