Recurring patterns

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

Other: Internal type implementation classes implemented the Serializable interface, exposing writeReplace() methods that enabled the deserialization of untrusted data and potential gadget chain exploits.

Cross-Site Request Forgery: Standard JSON outputs can be vulnerable to JSON hijacking (a variation of CSRF) when parsed as scripts. A prefix mechanism is required to prevent the browser from executing the JSON payload directly.

Data Validation: Parsing numeric fields using standard Java parsers without strict ASCII digit validation can lead to unexpected handling of Unicode digits, potentially leading to validation bypasses in downstream application logic.
