Recurring patterns

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

Insecure Deserialization: Critical RCE risk via deserialization of untrusted classes; fixed with a whitelist but any bypass or incomplete class coverage could re-open remote code execution.

Auth Bypass: Privileged album/shelf/image operations lacked proper authorization after annotation removal; multiple entry points (addAlbum, editUser, etc.) require null checks and role assignment.

Reflected XSS: Multiple renderers embed user-controlled message summary/detail without consistent HTML escaping; fixes were applied per-renderer, leaving potential for other output paths to miss escaping.
