Recurring patterns

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

Code Injection: The build automation system is vulnerable to code injection if pull request properties (such as branch names) are dynamically evaluated inside workflow commands without safe encoding. Developers must avoid inline execution of third-party pull request metadata.
Privilege Escalation: Default elevated GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in publication and linting workflows allow potential write operations if the pipeline is compromised. Enforcing explicit read-only permissions by default is critical to maintaining a strong pipeline security posture.
Path Traversal: Downloading assets without validating filenames against directory breakout patterns can allow remote servers to write arbitrary files on the local filesystem. Path sanitization using safe regex matching is required.
