Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Allowing user-controlled filenames in file upload filters can lead to path traversal and arbitrary file write if default behaviors prioritize client-provided names. This risk was mitigated by disabling the 'use_upload_name' option by default.
Auth Bypass: Using generic, unauthenticated rename operations instead of dedicated PHP upload-handling functions allows attackers to bypass upload authentication checks. The introduction of the dedicated RenameUpload filter class enforces safe transfer using PHP's native upload validation.
Insecure Temporary File: Generating temporary upload names using predictable low-entropy identifiers (such as basic uniqid calls) exposes the application to race conditions and file hijacking. Enabling additional entropy and stripping dots mitigates this predictability.
