Recurring patterns

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

Prototype Pollution: Attackers can exploit arbitrary property resolution or prototype pollution when parsing user-controlled color names or keywords if the lookup maps are not properly restricted or initialized with null prototypes.

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS): Processing crafted, invalid color format strings (such as HWB strings) can lead to catastrophic backtracking in regular expressions, causing application denial of service.
