Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
XXE: Remote WebDAV responses are parsed with a DocumentBuilder that previously allowed external entities and doctypes, enabling XXE. The fix disables these, but other XML parsing sites in the project may still be vulnerable.
Path Traversal: Archive extraction used new File(base, entryName) without normalization, allowing zip-slip to write outside the target directory. The fix adds normalization and a startsWith check, but other extraction routines may lack the same guard.
Auth Bypass: Credentials were set via setUserinfo only after a 401 retry, which could leak credentials or bypass authentication. The fix pre-authenticates before connection, but other HTTP wagons may still follow the vulnerable retry pattern.
