Recurring patterns

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

Improper Certificate Validation: The build-time utility for fetching pre-compiled binaries explicitly disabled TLS certificate validation by setting rejectUnauthorized to false. This allowed arbitrary binary execution if an attacker intercepted the download traffic. Developers must ensure that all network-fetching utilities enforce TLS validation by default.

Prototype Pollution: The use of deprecated, modular lodash sub-packages exposed the utility to Prototype Pollution attacks via deep merging operations. Relying on outdated dependencies can introduce severe runtime vulnerabilities, requiring continuous dependency auditing.
