Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Recurring auth bypasses across master RPC, transport, and netapi, often from missing signature checks, empty pubkey acceptance, or flawed token/group logic.
Path Traversal: Unsafe path joins in file serving, wheel, and gitfs allowed traversal outside root; fixed via clean_path/clean_join and junction handling.
Command Injection: Shell=True subprocess calls and unvalidated git URLs led to command injection; fixed by list args, sanitizing SSH kwargs, and URL validation.
