Recurring patterns

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

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption: Catastrophic backtracking and uncontrolled resource consumption in URI template parsing allow attackers to trigger Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted templates or inputs. This risk is highly critical due to its presence in multiple published CVEs.

SSRF: Inconsistent parsing or weak validation of characters in the host component can lead to parser differentials, potentially bypassing security controls in downstream HTTP clients to enable SSRF.
