Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Command Injection: The sudo runner module frequently failed to safely construct command strings, allowing malicious environment variables (like PATH) to execute arbitrary commands under elevated privileges.
Sandbox Escape: Improper sandbox initialization, missing execution wrappers, and incomplete environment binding to callbacks and tasks allowed code execution escape from the intended sandbox.
Privilege Escalation: Improperly dropping or restoring real vs. effective user/group IDs allowed scripts to retain root privileges or fail to execute in the domain of the target project owner.
