Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Inadequate workspace validation checks during read, find, and fetch operations inside saved objects client wrappers allowed cross-workspace data access and privilege escalation. Sibling endpoints and empty arrays in filters bypass access controls.
SSRF: Connecting to custom data sources or utilizing proxy handler APIs without strict host allowlist validation exposes internal network ranges (such as metadata endpoints) to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
Prototype Pollution: Unsafe object traversal, recursive array manipulation in visualizers, and raw Lodash usage consistently allow prototype pollution, which can be leveraged for Denial of Service or downstream Remote Code Execution (RCE).
