Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Container mount operations during CDI hook execution can escape the container root filesystem if path canonicalization is missing or bypassed, allowing host-level directory access.

Command Injection: Invoking external utilities like 'chmod' via system execution introduces shell injection vectors; directly using Go's standard library APIs prevents this vulnerability class entirely.

Path Traversal: Modifying permissions on container spec files can result in host-level modifications if path validation fails to pin file operations (like chmod) inside a secure root directory.
