Recurring patterns

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

Code Injection: Without strict path verification and robust integrity checks, malicious actors could tamper with cached PHP class files, leading to arbitrary code execution when the files are dynamically included via require_once.
Cryptographic Issues: The initial use of weak encoding (Base64) instead of proper cryptographic signatures failed to provide reliable file integrity verification, permitting bypasses of the execution guards.
