+## 2024-05-18 - JSON Parse Performance Optimization
+**Learning:** `json_parse_dirty` in `helpers/extract_tools.py` was directly relying on `DirtyJson.parse_string` which is significantly slower than the standard library's `json.loads` for well-formed JSON strings. This was a bottleneck as this method is used frequently to parse extracted JSON strings.
+**Action:** When working with custom fallback parsers for data formats like JSON, always attempt parsing with the standard library's fast path first (e.g. `json.loads()`), falling back to the custom parser only upon a `JSONDecodeError`.

+## 2024-05-24 - simpleeval Sandbox Escape (CVE-2026-32640)
+**Vulnerability:** The `simpleeval` package used in the project allowed arbitrary function execution resulting in potential sandbox escapes or remote code injection during the evaluation of user inputs and template conditions.
+**Learning:** Using `simple_eval()` without explicitly disabling `functions` allowed unintended function executions.
+**Prevention:** Update `simpleeval` dependency to version >=1.0.5 and always use `SimpleEval(names=..., functions={}).eval(...)` to prevent code execution when only evaluating variables.
+## 2024-05-24 - Path Traversal in API Files Get
+**Vulnerability:** The `ApiFilesGet` endpoint allowed arbitrary reading of files by not verifying if the dynamically generated `external_path` was inside the application base directory or other allowed directories. Attackers could supply paths like `/a0/../../../../etc/passwd` to exfiltrate system data since they were simply translated to absolute paths and opened directly.
+**Learning:** `helpers.files.get_abs_path` resolves paths but does not inherently enforce boundary checks or prevent directory traversal `../` beyond simply normalizing the string. If `get_abs_path` is passed a path like `../../`, it will happily resolve it outside of `_base_dir`.
+**Prevention:** Always follow calls to `get_abs_path` on user-provided path inputs with a definitive security boundary check using `helpers.files.is_in_base_dir(path)` before accessing the filesystem for reading or writing.
+## 2025-03-05 - Add input validation for plugin path resolution
+**Vulnerability:** Path Traversal via `plugin_name`, `project_name` and `agent_profile` parameters
+**Learning:** `helpers.files.get_abs_path` does not prevent path traversal if user inputs (such as parameters from API requests) contain characters like `/`, `\`, or `..`. A blocklist strategy (rejecting specific sequences like `..`) is fragile to evasion (such as url-encoding tricks). An allowlist validating against acceptable filename characters securely constraints input parameters, effectively defending against attackers resolving arbitrary paths and exploiting mechanisms like `_run_execute_script`.
+**Prevention:** Strictly validate parameters that dictate directory traversal before passing them to path construction functions. E.g., apply a Regex allowlist like `re.fullmatch(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$', name)` at the API boundary, with a second defense-in-depth layer within core resolution functions.
