Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Insecure handling of user-supplied filenames allowed arbitrary files to be deleted on the system. Developers must ensure that all file operations strictly resolve and validate paths against a designated safe root directory.

Auth Bypass: Weak or predictable database ID generation in the authentication library allowed session or user identifier guessing. Forcing a secure UUID generation strategy prevents attackers from guessing critical authentication tokens or record identifiers.
