Recurring patterns

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

Sandbox Escape: Multiple critical sandbox escapes via JS require() and code execution sandbox, allowing file read and command execution when LFA is disabled.

Code Execution / Command Injection: Untrusted templates (AI-generated, unsigned, workflow code) can execute arbitrary commands; guards on unsigned and code flags are inconsistently applied.

Local File Read / Arbitrary File Access: Local file disclosure via MySQL DSN allowAllFiles and headless file:// scheme, both gated by -lfa flag but in separate components.
