Recurring patterns

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

Sandbox Escape: Recurring failures to enforce sandbox constraints on file reads, module imports, and output paths across multiple JavaScript and protocol components. Each fix addresses a specific bypass, but sibling paths (require, payload files, headless) remain risky.

Auth Bypass: Multiple bypasses in template signature verification and auth strategy lookup. Cached verification results, DAST loading path, and regex-based strategy matching all allowed unauthorized execution or access.

Code Execution: Unsigned or unverified code templates could execute, especially through workflow and DAST paths. Signature enforcement and opt-in flags were added piecemeal, leaving gaps.
