Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: The runner's file download endpoint accepts user-controlled filename parameters without canonicalization or directory prefix boundaries, allowing remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the server host. This was publicly tracked as CVE-2026-44716.
Auth Bypass: Insecure WebSocket token generation and lack of authentication allowed unauthorized session hijacking. Predictable token payloads lacking high-entropy nonces could be guessed within the same second, and connections lacked HMAC verification checks.
Denial of Service: WebSocket connection state leaks and race conditions permitted concurrent incoming connections to abnormally terminate or disconnect existing active client sessions by overwriting the globally stored socket reference.
