Recurring patterns

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

Deserialization/Code Execution: Log4j 1.2.17 is vulnerable to CVE-2017-5645, a deserialization flaw in the SocketServer that allows remote code execution. The fix replaced it with SLF4J, but any remaining or reintroduced Log4j 1.x dependency would re-expose the project.

Deserialization/Code Execution: Axis 1.4 SOAP library has known deserialization vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2012-5784, CVE-2014-3577) that can lead to remote code execution via crafted SOAP messages. The fix removed the dependency and SOAP transport, but the removal must be verified across all modules and transitive dependencies.
