Recurring patterns

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

Prototype Pollution: Iterating over user-controlled object properties without skipping dangerous keys like '__proto__' allows attackers to pollute the global Object prototype, leading to property injection and potential denial of service or RCE in downstream consumers.

Code Injection: Passing attacker-controlled parameters directly to the final callback via callback.apply can allow injection of malicious arguments, potentially altering control flow or executing unintended logic in dependent code.
