Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation: Multiple critical and high fixes show superuser flag manipulation and role/permission reassignment were repeatedly possible; server-side validation was missing and superusers were not filtered from queries.
Path Traversal: Path traversal recurred across media libraries, theme assets, and import utilities, requiring repeated hardening of path validation, canonicalization, and extension checks; Windows separator normalization was needed.
Auth Bypass: Authorization gaps span dashboard management, theme actions, user settings, and media access; permission checks were added to previously open actions, demonstrating recurring missing authorization controls.
