Recurring patterns

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

SQL Injection: User-controlled request parameters used for column sorting can bypass fragile validation schemes to inject arbitrary SQL statements. Replacing denylists with strict regex allowlists is required to secure ordering operations.

Code Injection: The compileBlade function historically evaluated arbitrary input strings via eval(), leading to potential remote code execution. Migrating to official framework APIs like Blade::render() is critical to mitigate template-based execution vectors.

SQL Injection: The sorting mechanisms involving 'nulls last' options or raw user-defined columns are susceptible to injection if column names are not properly sanitized and wrapped prior to query execution.
