Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Permission validation endpoints fell back to global scopes rather than validating permissions against the local job context (e.g., Job.CONFIGURE), potentially allowing unauthorized users to reset quality gates.

Sandbox Escape: User-defined Groovy script parsers executed without sandbox validation, allowing complete control over the Jenkins host until integrated with the Script Security Plugin.

Stored XSS: Jelly views and configuration templates routinely omitted escape-by-default options, enabling arbitrary HTML injection through static analysis warning descriptions.
