Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Insecure Temporary File: The use of predictable or unsafe temporary file creation APIs (like mktemp followed by open) creates a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition, allowing a local attacker to symlink or pre-create the target file.
Insecure File Permissions: Cache files written by the compiler could be created with overly broad permissions, allowing arbitrary local users to write to or modify cached bytecode and execute arbitrary code.
