Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Remote Code Execution: A debug endpoint reads a local file and passes its contents to eval(), giving an attacker arbitrary code execution if they can influence the file path or content. This is the highest-impact risk and must be removed or gated behind strong authentication and an explicit opt-in.
Auth Bypass: The publish endpoint lacked authentication, allowing any unauthenticated user to trigger publishing. The fix added token-validation middleware, but sibling endpoints or alternate publish paths may still lack the same guard.
Path Traversal: The download route passed a user-controlled tmpZipFile parameter directly to sendFile, allowing path traversal to read arbitrary files. The fix added a basename check, but other file-serving routes (e.g., static file handlers) may not enforce the same validation.
