Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Access Control: Write operations were permitted without checking write permission on the target file, allowing unauthorized modifications. This was fixed by adding a write permission check in the open sink.
Access Control: Read operations were permitted without checking read permission on the file, allowing unauthorized access to file contents. This was fixed by adding a read permission check in the open sink.
Access Control: Directory traversal did not check execute permission on parent directories, allowing unauthorized access to files within protected directories. This was fixed by adding an execute permission check in getItem.
