Recurring patterns

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

Regular Expression Injection: Raw additional characters provided to validation rules like Alnum were directly interpolated into a preg_match pattern without sanitization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary regex modifiers or operators. Developers must avoid dynamic pattern construction and instead use safer character stripping or escaping strategies.
