Highlights

Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
SSRF: Multiple fixes enforce allow_net allowlists on http.send, redirects, and schema references, but each path was patched separately, suggesting incomplete coverage.
Denial of Service: Recurring panics from type assertions and parser issues across compiler, JWT handling, and server paths; each fixed individually, indicating a systemic lack of defensive checks.
TLS Certificate Validation Bypass: Multiple fixes address InsecureSkipVerify and missing RootCAs, showing a pattern of TLS configs defaulting to insecure behavior across HTTP client and REST plugin.
