Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: The thumbnail optimization pipeline used absolute file paths directly in storage operations, allowing attackers to manipulate paths during post-processing saving and deletion operations. Developers should avoid passing absolute paths to storage backends and stick to relative, logical names.
Path Traversal: Inadequate path normalization in Thumbnailer failed to properly strip storage location prefixes and leading slashes. This permitted directory traversal when locating files, highlighting the need for robust path-prefix matching and normalization using secure abstractions.
