Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Temporary File: The use of a hardcoded shared temporary directory (`/tmp/cache`) for static analysis caching allowed local users to pre-create the directory or manipulate symbolic links, potentially leading to arbitrary file writes or cache poisoning. Developers must ensure all caching mechanisms leverage secure, dynamically generated temporary paths unique to the executing process.
