Recurring patterns

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

Remote Code Execution: Log4Shell RCE vulnerabilities were patched three times in the log4j2 dependency, indicating a history of delayed or incomplete updates. The severity is critical because RCE allows full system compromise.

Log4Shell (RCE): Direct fix for CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell) in log4j dependency. This is the most notorious RCE vulnerability and must be prevented from re-entering via transitive dependencies.

Privilege Escalation: The CI workflow previously had overly broad permissions, allowing potential privilege escalation. Fixed by setting read-only permissions, but other workflows or reusable workflows may still be misconfigured.
