Recurring patterns

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

Reflected XSS: User-controlled stream name and URL are inserted into HTML via innerHTML without encoding, allowing script execution in the dashboard context.

Reflected XSS: The title URL parameter is written via jQuery .html(), which interprets HTML and permits XSS; the fix switched to .text() to neutralize markup.

HTTP Request Smuggling: Forwarding the Transfer-Encoding header from the upstream response can cause request desync between the proxy and backend, enabling smuggling attacks.
