Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: The application instantiated controllers directly from the locator without ensuring they implemented expected interfaces. An attacker could trigger instantiation of untrusted classes, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
Auth Bypass: Inheriting directly from DiAbstractServiceFactory allowed arbitrary service instantiation, completely bypassing the intended configuration strict whitelist. This permitted unauthorized access to services that should have been restricted.
