Root Cause Analysis
The commit diff shows critical changes in input handling patterns: 1) In processes.js, prototype methods (replace/toLowerCase/trim) were explicitly redefined in the services function to prevent pollution. 2) network.js replaced sanitizeShellString with manual character-by-character processing. 3) internet.js added explicit prototype overrides during URL sanitization. These changes directly correlate to CWE-78 (Command Injection) and CWE-471 (Prototype Pollution), confirming these functions were vulnerable to input that could modify prototypes and execute arbitrary commands.
