Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Communication: Downloading critical cryptography source archives (OpenSSL) over unencrypted FTP allows adversaries to perform MitM attacks and inject malicious code directly into the compiled library.

Insecure Download: Using plain HTTP to download build dependencies exposes the environment to network-level tampering and potential payload replacement.

Insecure Communication: Resolving the location of remote archives using HEAD requests over unencrypted FTP could allow an attacker to redirect downstream downloaders to arbitrary malicious domains.
