Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Setting static_path="/" exposed the entire server root, enabling arbitrary file reads. This is a classic misconfiguration with broad impact.

Code Execution: Allowing arbitrary script file extensions for execution without a strict allowlist enables RCE when serving untrusted directories. The fix introduced extension_language_mapping but must be consistently enforced.

Auth Bypass: Removing the author_association check allowed any user to trigger the snapshot update workflow, indicating a lack of privilege verification on CI actions.
