Recurring patterns

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

Credential Leak: Hardcoded proxy credentials (username/password) in configuration templates can lead to unauthorized access and exposure of third-party proxy accounts. Developers must avoid committing static credentials and instead leverage dynamic configuration or environment variables.

Denial of Service: Failing to properly release X11 Display and Xcursor instances during server API operations leads to connection exhaustion. Robust try-finally or context-manager blocks are required to guarantee cleanup.

Denial of Service: Unbounded HTTP requests for screenshot retrieval can cause the controller to hang indefinitely on slow or unresponsive endpoints. Network calls must enforce explicit read and connection timeouts.
