## Critical Issues (Fixed)

### Bouncer/BlocklistService.php
- [x] **Missing table existence check** - Queries `blocked_ips` table without checking if it exists, causing crashes before migrations run. *Fixed: Added cached `tableExists()` check.*

### Cdn/Services/StorageUrlResolver.php
- [x] **Weak token hashing** - Used `hash('sha256')` instead of `hash_hmac('sha256')` for BunnyCDN token authentication. *Fixed: Changed to HMAC-SHA256.*

### Config/ConfigService.php
- [x] **SQL injection via LIKE wildcards** - `getByPrefix()` and `deleteByPrefix()` don't escape `%` and `_` characters. *Fixed: Added wildcard escaping.*

### Console/Boot.php
- [x] **References non-existent commands** - Registers `MakeModCommand`, `MakePlugCommand`, `MakeWebsiteCommand` which don't exist. *Fixed: Commented out missing commands.*

### Console/Commands/InstallCommand.php
- [x] **Regex injection** - `updateEnv()` uses `$key` directly in regex without escaping. *Fixed: Added `preg_quote()`.*

### Input/Sanitiser.php
- [x] **Nested arrays become null** - `filter_var_array()` doesn't handle nested arrays, silently returning null. *Fixed: Implemented recursive filtering.*

### Mail/EmailShieldStat.php
- [x] **Race condition** - `firstOrCreate()` + `increment()` can lose counts under concurrent requests. *Fixed: Changed to atomic `insertOrIgnore()` + `increment()`.*

### ModuleScanner.php
- [x] **Duplicate code** - Had duplicate `Mod` namespace check. *Fixed: Removed duplicate.*
- [x] **Missing namespaces** - Missing `Website` and `Plug` namespace handling. *Fixed: Added both namespaces.*

### Search/Unified.php
- [x] **Missing class_exists check** - `searchPlans()` uses `AgentPlan` without checking if class exists (unlike other model searches). *Fixed: Added guard.*

### Seo/Schema.php
- [x] **XSS vulnerability** - `toScriptTag()` doesn't use `JSON_HEX_TAG`, allowing `</script>` injection. *Fixed: Added flag.*

### Seo/Services/SchemaBuilderService.php
- [x] **XSS vulnerability** - Same `</script>` injection issue. *Fixed: Added `JSON_HEX_TAG`.*

### Seo/SeoMetadata.php
- [x] **XSS vulnerability** - Same `</script>` injection issue in `getJsonLdAttribute()`. *Fixed: Added `JSON_HEX_TAG`.*

### Storage/CacheResilienceProvider.php
- [x] **Hardcoded phpredis** - Uses `new \Redis()` directly, failing if Predis is used instead. *Fixed: Added Predis support with fallback.*
