Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Zip template extraction writes files using paths derived from archive entries without canonicalization, allowing arbitrary writes outside the templates directory.
Request Smuggling: Raw HTTP requests with inconsistent newline handling (LF vs CRLF) can be interpreted differently by proxies and backends, enabling request smuggling.
Insecure File Permissions: Multiple components created files and directories with world-writable permissions (0777/os.ModePerm), exposing sensitive data to unauthorized local access.
