Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data: The runtime Lambda deserialization mechanism is highly sensitive, with past vulnerabilities allowing arbitrary class member lookups and private method invocation through manipulated SerializedLambda payloads.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Lazily-evaluated collections can trigger the execution of arbitrary, potentially malicious code when their tail state is evaluated during the deserialization stream read.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Improperly designed call-by-name arguments in process builders can instantiate active, sensitive I/O streams during the object reconstruction process.
