Recurring patterns

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

Injection: The build script constructed GitHub GraphQL queries by formatting untrusted strings extracted from README.md. This allowed potential GraphQL injection if a repository owner or name contained malicious payloads. The fix introduced stricter regex validation for owner and repository names.

Reflected XSS: Directly injecting structured JSON into HTML templates without escaping closing script tags enabled Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The vulnerability was resolved by properly escaping HTML-sensitive characters during serialization within the build pipeline.
