Recurring patterns

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

SSRF: jar: URL inner scheme/host validation was added, but sibling URL resolution paths may lack equivalent checks, allowing server-side request forgery via crafted configuration locations.

XXE: External entity resolution was restricted, but alternate parser creation or entity resolver paths may still permit XXE when processing untrusted XML.

Dependency Vulnerability: commons-beanutils was upgraded to fix CVE-2014-0114, but other vulnerable transitive dependencies may remain, and deserialization of untrusted data could still reach beanutils.
