Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: Improper validation of file paths can allow model-driven tools to read sensitive system files outside the designated workspace, particularly on Windows platforms. Developers must systematically use canonicalization and prefix-matching.
SSRF: Allowing the LLM to fetch arbitrary URLs can lead to SSRF targeting internal services or cloud-metadata endpoints. Safe web-fetching requires resolving addresses to verify they do not point to private space, along with manually handling redirects.
Auth Bypass: Unauthenticated administrative HTTP endpoints allow remote attackers to bypass access controls and execute administrative actions. Secure token management or signature validation is required on all web endpoints.
