Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Inadequate session name validation allowed arbitrary directory deletion via standard filesystem APIs during delete-session operations. This poses a major risk of system-wide denial of service or data loss.
Auth Bypass: Overly permissive security permission mapping permitted plugins to open arbitrary terminal commands and file editor panes under a generic application state permission rather than requiring explicit user consent.
Path Traversal: Allowing forward slashes in session names during session switching and renaming enabled path traversal within Unix domain socket path construction, leading to unexpected application behavior and connection issues.
