Recurring patterns

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

Sandbox Escape: Multiple fixes restrict JS imports and browser sandbox flags, indicating repeated gaps where workflows and headless engines could escape the intended sandbox.

Signature Bypass: Signature verification was bypassed via stale metadata, DAST branch ordering, and signature position manipulation, allowing unsigned or tampered templates to execute.

Path Traversal: Path traversal via lexical prefix checks, unvalidated payload paths, zip-slip extraction, and file:// URLs in headless mode were repeatedly fixed with canonical containment or explicit flags.
