Recurring patterns

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

XML External Entity (XXE): Insecure default configurations in SAXParserFactory allowed external entity resolution, presenting a critical risk when parsing untrusted Java and XML analysis metadata.

XML External Entity (XXE): Standard XMLInputFactory instances used within test utilities failed to disable DTD processing, exposing the test suite execution environment to XXE and SSRF vectors.

Command Injection: Direct inline execution of workflow inputs within shell commands enabled script injection during build-time release management.
