Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: AI-driven tools (such as fs_read, write, and patch) are prone to directory traversal and sandbox escapes. Failures to strictly validate canonicalized paths against target directory boundaries allow LLM-generated prompts to read and modify arbitrary files on the host filesystem.
Auth Bypass: The manual-approval mechanism gating dangerous AI-generated shell commands can be bypassed using command chaining, subshells, specific evaluation flags (like node or ruby -e), or redirection patterns, leading to unauthorized host mutation.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive credentials, authorization tokens, and CSRF tokens were historically exposed to local processes by passing them as raw command-line arguments to curl, requiring a transition to reading configs from standard input.
