Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Dependency Vulnerability: Multiple log4j-core upgrades (2.16.0->2.17.0, 2.17.0->2.17.1) indicate repeated exposure to Log4Shell-class RCE vulnerabilities; any lingering old version or transitive inclusion is critical.
Dependency Vulnerability: Transitive dependencies (wire-schema, org.json, commons-collections, Avro) each required targeted upgrades/exclusions; these are easy to regress via dependency resolution changes.
Dependency Vulnerability: lz4-java 1.8.1 transitive dependency was vulnerable; shim module introduced to force patched version—must be maintained to avoid reintroduction.
