Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the 'cast' function's handling of 'time' type values in the configuration
parser. The pre-patch code only ensured a colon was present and appended ':00' if missing, but didn't validate()
numeric ranges for hours (0-23) and minutes (0-59). The patch adds explicit numeric checks and range validation, confirming this was the vulnerable code path. The commit message ('validate time config values') and CWE-20 classification directly align with this missing validation logic.
