+
+## Defect
+
+`FileConfigurationParser` parses broker security roles from XML configuration.
+It builds per-permission `ArrayList<String>` collections (send, consume,
+createDurableQueue, deleteDurableQueue, createNonDurableQueue, deleteNonDurableQueue,
+manageRoles, browseRoles, createAddressRoles, deleteAddressRoles, viewRoles,
+editRoles), then for each role in `allRoles` (N roles) it calls `.contains(role)`
+on up to 12 of these lists. Each call is O(R) where R is the maximum number of
+roles in any single permission list. Total cost: O(N × 12 × R) = O(N²) in the
+degenerate case where all roles have all permissions.
+
+Additionally, `allRoles` itself is populated using `!allRoles.contains(role.trim())`
+which is O(N) per insertion — another O(N²) scan.
+
+```java
+// FileConfigurationParser.java lines 1212-1275
+List<String> send = new ArrayList<>();
+List<String> consume = new ArrayList<>();
+// ... 10 more ArrayList<String> ...
+List<String> allRoles = new ArrayList<>();
+
+// ... XML parsing loop populates the lists ...
+if (!allRoles.contains(role.trim())) {   // O(N) per role — O(N²) total
+    allRoles.add(role.trim());
+}
+
+for (String role : allRoles) {
+    securityRoles.add(new Role(role,
+        send.contains(role),             // O(R) × 12 per role
+        consume.contains(role),
+        createDurableQueue.contains(role),
+        deleteDurableQueue.contains(role),
+        createNonDurableQueue.contains(role),
+        deleteNonDurableQueue.contains(role),
+        manageRoles.contains(role),
+        browseRoles.contains(role),
+        createAddressRoles.contains(role),
+        deleteAddressRoles.contains(role),
+        viewRoles.contains(role),
+        editRoles.contains(role)));
+}
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Use `HashSet<String>` (or `LinkedHashSet<String>` to preserve order) for all the
+permission lists, and for `allRoles`:
+
+```java
+Set<String> send = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> consume = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> createDurableQueue = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> deleteDurableQueue = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> createNonDurableQueue = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> deleteNonDurableQueue = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> manageRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> browseRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> createAddressRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> deleteAddressRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> viewRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> editRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+Set<String> allRoles = new LinkedHashSet<>();
+
+// allRoles population: add() already deduplicates in a Set — no contains() check needed
+allRoles.add(role.trim());   // replaces the !allRoles.contains() guard
+
+// Role construction loop unchanged — Set.contains() is O(1)
+for (String role : allRoles) {
+    securityRoles.add(new Role(role,
+        send.contains(role), consume.contains(role), ...));
+}
+```
+
+## Speedup
+
+| N (roles) | R (roles per permission) | Before (ops) | After (ops) | Speedup |
+|-----------|--------------------------|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| 50 | 50 | ~30,000 | ~600 | 50× |
+| 200 | 200 | ~480,000 | ~2,400 | 200× |
+| 1,000 | 1,000 | ~12,000,000 | ~12,000 | 1,000× |
+
+Most Artemis deployments have modest role counts (10–50) but enterprise LDAP-backed
+configurations with fine-grained per-address permissions can have hundreds of roles.
+The defect is hit on every broker startup and every live configuration reload.

+
+## Defect
+
+`collectReachable` builds the set of type-parameter nodes reachable from a given start node
+during the expansive-inheritance check (SLS §4.5 / KLS §11.2). The original implementation
+returns a `List<T>` via `DFS.NodeHandlerWithListResult`. The result is immediately consumed
+in `isEdgeInCycle`:
+
+```kotlin
+private fun <T> Graph<T>.isEdgeInCycle(edge: ExpansiveEdge<T>) =
+    edge.from in collectReachable(edge.to)
+
+private fun <T> Graph<T>.collectReachable(from: T): List<T> {        // BUG: List
+    val handler = object : DFS.NodeHandlerWithListResult<T, T>() {
+        override fun afterChildren(current: T?) {
+            result.add(current)
+        }
+    }
+    val neighbors = object : DFS.Neighbors<T> {
+        override fun getNeighbors(current: T): Iterable<T> =
+            this@collectReachable.getNeighbors(current)
+    }
+    DFS.dfs(listOf(from), neighbors, handler)
+    return handler.result()
+}
+```
+
+`edge.from in collectReachable(edge.to)` uses Kotlin's `in` operator on a `List<T>`, which
+compiles to `List.contains()` — a linear O(V) scan.  The check is performed once per
+expansive edge, so with E expansive edges and V type-parameter nodes the total cost is
+**O(E × V)**.  For a deeply layered generic hierarchy (e.g. a sealed-trait diamond with
+many type parameters), E and V grow together, making this O(V²) in the worst case.
+
+## Fix
+
+Accumulate the reachable nodes into a `HashSet<T>` directly and return `Set<T>`, so the
+`in` membership test at the call site becomes O(1):
+
+```kotlin
+private fun <T> Graph<T>.isEdgeInCycle(edge: ExpansiveEdge<T>) =
+    edge.from in collectReachable(edge.to)          // unchanged — but now O(1)
+
+// Return Set<T> so `in` is O(1) hash lookup instead of O(V) list scan
+private fun <T> Graph<T>.collectReachable(from: T): Set<T> {
+    val reachable = hashSetOf<T>()
+
+    val handler = object : DFS.NodeHandlerWithListResult<T, T>() {
+        override fun afterChildren(current: T?) {
+            if (current != null) reachable.add(current)
+        }
+    }
+
+    val neighbors = object : DFS.Neighbors<T> {
+        override fun getNeighbors(current: T): Iterable<T> =
+            this@collectReachable.getNeighbors(current)
+    }
+
+    DFS.dfs(listOf(from), neighbors, handler)
+
+    return reachable
+}
+```
+
+`TypeParameterDescriptor` already implements `equals`/`hashCode` (identity by object),
+so storing it in a `HashSet` is correct and safe.
+

+
+## Defect
+
+`ConstraintSystemBuilderImpl.addBound()` deduplicates bounds before adding them to prevent
+the constraint incorporation loop from diverging. The dedup check uses `ArrayList.contains()`:
+
+```kotlin
+// TypeBoundsImpl.kt:31
+override val bounds = ArrayList<Bound>()           // BUG: ArrayList
+
+// ConstraintSystemBuilderImpl.kt:277
+val typeBounds = getTypeBounds(typeVariable)
+if (typeBounds.bounds.contains(bound)) return     // O(B) linear scan per call
+typeBounds.addBound(bound)
+```
+
+`TypeBounds.Bound` defines `equals()` and `hashCode()` (comparing `typeVariable`,
+`constrainingType`, `kind`, and `position.isStrong()`), making it fully eligible for
+storage in a hash-based collection.
+
+During constraint incorporation (`constraintIncorporation.kt`), `incorporateBound()` is
+called once per new bound and may call `addBound` O(B) times as it cross-multiplies with
+existing bounds. Each `addBound` performs an O(B) `contains` scan, yielding **O(B²)
+total** duplicate-check work per type variable per incorporation round. For functions with
+many type parameters and complex bounds (e.g. higher-kinded types, SAM conversions with
+many overloads), B can reach 30–50 during a single call resolution.
+
+## Fix
+
+Change `TypeBoundsImpl.bounds` from `ArrayList<Bound>` to `LinkedHashSet<Bound>` to
+provide O(1) `contains` and maintain insertion order for deterministic value computation:
+
+```kotlin
+// TypeBoundsImpl.kt — change bounds to LinkedHashSet
+class TypeBoundsImpl(override val typeVariable: TypeVariable) : TypeBounds {
+    override val bounds: MutableSet<Bound> = LinkedHashSet()   // was: ArrayList<Bound>()
+
+    fun addBound(bound: Bound) {
+        resultValues = null
+        assert(bound.typeVariable == typeVariable) { ... }
+        bounds.add(bound)
+    }
+    // ... rest unchanged
+}
+```
+
+The `TypeBounds` interface declares `bounds: Collection<Bound>`, so changing the concrete
+type to `LinkedHashSet` is a compatible implementation change. All iteration patterns
+(`bounds.indices`, `bounds.filter`, `bounds.any`, `bounds.flatMap`) work identically on
+`Set` as on `List`.
+
+The dedup guard in `ConstraintSystemBuilderImpl.addBound()` can then rely on
+`LinkedHashSet.add()` returning `false` on duplicate, or retain the explicit check — both
+become O(1).
+
+## Speedup
+
+| B (bounds per type var) | Before (contains ops) | After (contains ops) | Speedup |
+|-------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------|---------|
+| 10 | 100 | 10 | 10× |
+| 30 | 900 | 30 | 30× |
+| 50 | 2,500 | 50 | 50× |
+
+Typical Kotlin inference sessions for moderate generics see B ≈ 5–15; complex higher-kinded
+scenarios can reach B = 30–50. The patch provides consistent O(1) dedup across all cases.

+
+`verifyNoCycles` uses a `Stack<String>` (which extends `Vector<String>`) to track the DFS
+path and calls `traversedIds.contains(id)` to detect back-edges. `Stack.contains()` is an
+O(D) linear scan, called once per node at each recursion level, giving O(D²) total where D is
+the depth of the ParameterContext inheritance chain.
+
+```java
+private void verifyNoCycles(final Stack<String> traversedIds,

+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `Stack<String>` with a `HashSet<String>` for the visited-in-current-path set. Since
+`Stack` is used as a DFS path tracker, we need O(1) membership checks. Use a `Set<String>` for
+the cycle check and a separate `Deque<String>` only if ordering is needed (it is not here).
+
+```java
+private void verifyNoCycles(final List<ParameterContext> parameterContexts) {
+    final Set<String> traversedIds = new HashSet<>();
+    traversedIds.add(id);
+    verifyNoCycles(traversedIds, parameterContexts);

+| Hot path | `export` clause compilation — executed once per export statement |
+
+## Defect
+
+`Namer.addWildcardForwarders` is called when an `export path.*` wildcard clause is
+compiled. It receives `seen: List[TermName]` — the names of explicitly-listed selectors
+that precede the wildcard in the same export clause (built by prepending in
+`addForwarders`).
+
+For **non-Given** members the code correctly materializes `seen` into a `mutable.HashSet`
+at the top of the function (`nonContextual`). But for **Given** members, it falls back to
+the raw `List.contains()` O(S) scan on every member:
+
+```scala
+def addWildcardForwarders(seen: List[TermName], span: Span): Unit =
+  val nonContextual = mutable.HashSet(seen*)          // O(S) one-time copy — OK for non-Given branch
+  ...
+  for mbr <- pathType.membersBasedOnFlags(...) do
+    ...
+    val alias = mbr.name.toTermName
+    if mbr.symbol.is(Given) then
+      if !seen.contains(alias) && mbr.matchesImportBound(givenBound) then   // BUG: O(S) per member
+        addForwarder(alias, mbr, span)
+    else if !nonContextual.contains(alias) ...                              // OK: O(1)
+```
+
+With M members in `pathType` and S explicit selectors in `seen`, the Given branch
+performs **O(M × S)** comparisons. The non-Given branch already pays this cost to
+construct `nonContextual`, but does it only once (O(S)) then O(1) per lookup.
+The Given branch neglects to reuse `nonContextual` and re-scans the original list
+per member.
+
+`TermName` is a value type with a stable `hashCode`, making it safe in `HashSet`.
+
+## Fix
+
+Reuse `nonContextual` (which already contains all names from `seen`) for the Given branch
+lookup. Both branches then pay O(1) per member:
+
+```scala
+def addWildcardForwarders(seen: List[TermName], span: Span): Unit =
+  val nonContextual = mutable.HashSet(seen*)          // covers both Given and non-Given
+  ...
+  for mbr <- pathType.membersBasedOnFlags(...) do
+    ...
+    val alias = mbr.name.toTermName
+    if mbr.symbol.is(Given) then
+      if !nonContextual.contains(alias) && mbr.matchesImportBound(givenBound) then   // FIX: O(1)
+        addForwarder(alias, mbr, span)
+    else if !nonContextual.contains(alias) && mbr.matchesImportBound(wildcardBound) then
+      nonContextual += alias
+      addWildcardForwardersNamed(alias, span)
+```
+
+The semantics are identical: `seen` contains the names of all explicit selectors, and
+`nonContextual` is initialized to exactly `seen*`, so `nonContextual.contains(alias)` is
+equivalent to `seen.contains(alias)` but O(1) instead of O(S).
+

+
+Typical Scala 3 `export` clauses target trait-rich objects with O(100–500) members

+
+## Defect
+
+`BeanFactoryUtils.mergeNamesWithParent()` is called by
+`beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors()` and related methods to merge bean name
+lists from parent and child application contexts. The `merged` variable is an
+`ArrayList<String>`. For each of the P entries in `parentResult`, the code calls
+`merged.contains(beanName)` — an O(R) linear scan where R is the number of
+already-added names. Total cost O(P×R).
+
+```java
+// BeanFactoryUtils.java line 521-532
+private static String[] mergeNamesWithParent(String[] result, String[] parentResult,
+        HierarchicalBeanFactory hbf) {
+    if (parentResult.length == 0) {
+        return result;
+    }
+    List<String> merged = new ArrayList<>(result.length + parentResult.length);
+    merged.addAll(Arrays.asList(result));
+    for (String beanName : parentResult) {
+        if (!merged.contains(beanName) && !hbf.containsLocalBean(beanName)) {
+            //      ^^^^^^^^ O(R) per iteration → O(P×R) total
+            merged.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    return StringUtils.toStringArray(merged);
+}
+```
+
+This method is called from `getBeanNamesForType()`, `beanNamesForAnnotationIncludingAncestors()`,
+and similar utility methods which can be called at runtime (e.g., during dependency injection,
+AOP proxy creation, and Spring Boot auto-configuration) with deep ApplicationContext hierarchies.
+
+## Fix
+
+Use a `LinkedHashSet` to preserve insertion order while providing O(1) membership tests,
+or build a `HashSet` for the dedup check:
+
+```java
+private static String[] mergeNamesWithParent(String[] result, String[] parentResult,
+        HierarchicalBeanFactory hbf) {
+    if (parentResult.length == 0) {
+        return result;
+    }
+    Set<String> seen = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(result));
+    List<String> merged = new ArrayList<>(result.length + parentResult.length);
+    merged.addAll(Arrays.asList(result));
+    for (String beanName : parentResult) {
+        if (!seen.contains(beanName) && !hbf.containsLocalBean(beanName)) {
+            seen.add(beanName);
+            merged.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    return StringUtils.toStringArray(merged);
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, use `LinkedHashSet` directly:
+
+```java
+private static String[] mergeNamesWithParent(String[] result, String[] parentResult,
+        HierarchicalBeanFactory hbf) {
+    if (parentResult.length == 0) {
+        return result;
+    }
+    Set<String> merged = new LinkedHashSet<>(Arrays.asList(result));
+    for (String beanName : parentResult) {
+        if (!merged.contains(beanName) && !hbf.containsLocalBean(beanName)) {
+            merged.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    return StringUtils.toStringArray(merged);
+}
+```
+

+
+## Defect
+
+`DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanNamesForAnnotation()` builds a result list from
+two sources: `beanDefinitionNames` and `manualSingletonNames`. For each of the M
+entries in `manualSingletonNames` it calls `result.contains(beanName)` where `result`
+is an `ArrayList<String>` that has already been populated with up to B entries from
+`beanDefinitionNames`. This is O(B×M) — quadratic in total bean count.
+
+```java
+// DefaultListableBeanFactory.java line 770-784
+public String[] getBeanNamesForAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType) {
+    List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
+    for (String beanName : this.beanDefinitionNames) {
+        BeanDefinition bd = this.beanDefinitionMap.get(beanName);
+        if (bd != null && !bd.isAbstract() && findAnnotationOnBean(beanName, annotationType) != null) {
+            result.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    for (String beanName : this.manualSingletonNames) {
+        if (!result.contains(beanName) && findAnnotationOnBean(beanName, annotationType) != null) {
+            //      ^^^^^^^^ O(B) per iteration → O(B×M) total
+            result.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    return StringUtils.toStringArray(result);
+}
+```
+
+`findAnnotationOnBean()` involves reflection and is itself expensive — but it is only called
+after `result.contains()` succeeds (for the negative branch), so the list scan overhead is
+paid on every iteration including those that ultimately do nothing.
+
+## Fix
+
+Build a `HashSet` shadow alongside `result` to provide O(1) dedup:
+
+```java
+public String[] getBeanNamesForAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType) {
+    List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
+    Set<String> seen = new HashSet<>();
+    for (String beanName : this.beanDefinitionNames) {
+        BeanDefinition bd = this.beanDefinitionMap.get(beanName);
+        if (bd != null && !bd.isAbstract() && findAnnotationOnBean(beanName, annotationType) != null) {
+            result.add(beanName);
+            seen.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    for (String beanName : this.manualSingletonNames) {
+        if (!seen.contains(beanName) && findAnnotationOnBean(beanName, annotationType) != null) {
+            result.add(beanName);
+        }
+    }
+    return StringUtils.toStringArray(result);
+}
+```
+
+## Speedup

+| 5,000 | 1,000 | 5,000,000 | 6,000 | 833× |
+
+Large Spring Boot applications with hundreds of beans annotated with `@Service`,
+`@Component`, `@Controller` etc. will benefit most. `getBeanNamesForAnnotation()`
+is called by `getBeansWithAnnotation()`, event publisher detection, and various
+Spring Boot auto-configuration processors.

+## Defect
+
+`AnnotationTypeMapping.processAliases()` resolves `@AliasFor` relationships across
+meta-annotation hierarchies. It is called once per annotation type during mapping
+construction (cached afterwards). The `aliases` local variable is an `ArrayList<Method>`.
+
+For each annotation attribute (A attributes), `processAliases(i, aliases)` is called.
+Inside that method, for each level in the meta-annotation chain (D levels), it iterates
+over all attributes (A) and calls `aliases.contains(mapping.attributes.get(i))` — an O(L)
+scan where L is the current aliases list size. The same pattern appears in
+`getFirstRootAttributeIndex()` and `MirrorSets.updateFrom()`.
+
+```java
+// processAliases(int attributeIndex, List<Method> aliases) — lines 223-248
+AnnotationTypeMapping mapping = this;
+while (mapping != null) {                         // D iterations (meta-annotation depth)
+    if (rootAttributeIndex != -1 && mapping != this.root) {
+        for (int i = 0; i < mapping.attributes.size(); i++) {  // A iterations
+            if (aliases.contains(mapping.attributes.get(i))) { // O(L) scan
+                mapping.aliasMappings[i] = rootAttributeIndex;
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    mapping.mirrorSets.updateFrom(aliases);       // updateFrom also calls aliases.contains()
+    ...
+    mapping = mapping.source;
+}
+
+// MirrorSets.updateFrom(Collection<Method> aliases) — lines 556-573
+for (int i = 0; i < attributes.size(); i++) {     // A iterations
+    Method attribute = attributes.get(i);
+    if (aliases.contains(attribute)) {             // O(L) scan
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Total cost per annotation type: O(A × D × A × L) = O(A²×D×L).
+
+For complex composed annotations (e.g., `@SpringBootTest`, `@Transactional`, framework
+stereotypes with `@AliasFor` chains), A can be 10–30, D can be 5–10, L can be 5–10,
+yielding up to ~90,000 operations per annotation type initialization.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `List<Method>` with `LinkedHashSet<Method>` for `aliases` to make `.contains()`
+O(1) while preserving insertion order (order matters for alias resolution):
+
+```java
+private void processAliases() {
+    Set<Method> aliases = new LinkedHashSet<>();  // was: List<Method> aliases = new ArrayList<>();
+    for (int i = 0; i < this.attributes.size(); i++) {
+        aliases.clear();
+        aliases.add(this.attributes.get(i));
+        collectAliases(aliases);
+        if (aliases.size() > 1) {
+            processAliases(i, aliases);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `processAliases(int, List<Method>)` signature must also accept `Collection<Method>`
+or `Set<Method>` (or keep `List<Method>` and pass `new ArrayList<>(aliases)`).
+Similarly update `getFirstRootAttributeIndex()` and `MirrorSets.updateFrom()` parameter
+types to accept `Collection<Method>`.
+
+## Speedup
+
+| A (attributes) | D (depth) | L (alias list) | Before (ops) | After (ops) | Speedup |
+|---------------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| 10 | 5 | 5 | 2,500 | 500 | 5× |
+| 20 | 8 | 10 | 32,000 | 4,000 | 8× |
+| 30 | 10 | 15 | 135,000 | 9,000 | 15× |
+
+Annotation types are cached after first construction, so this is a startup / first-use
+cost rather than per-request. Applications with many composed annotations (Spring Boot,
+Spring Security, Spring Data) construct many such mappings during startup.

+(`leftJoinFields`, `rightJoinFields`) are built from the USING column indices, then used as
+membership test targets in loops over all fields of the left and right relation types:
+
+```java
+List<Integer> leftJoinFields = new ArrayList<>();
+List<Integer> rightJoinFields = new ArrayList<>();
+
+// build phase: O(J)
+for (Identifier column : columns) {
+    leftJoinFields.add(leftField.getRelationFieldIndex());
+    rightJoinFields.add(rightField.getRelationFieldIndex());
+}
+
+// output phase: O(C × J) -- for each field, scan the list
+for (int i = 0; i < left.getRelationType().getAllFieldCount(); i++) {
+    if (!leftJoinFields.contains(i)) {   // O(J) linear scan per field
+        outputs.add(...); leftFields.add(i);
+    }
+}
+for (int i = 0; i < right.getRelationType().getAllFieldCount(); i++) {
+    if (!rightJoinFields.contains(i)) {  // O(J) linear scan per field
+        outputs.add(...); rightFields.add(i);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Where C = total column count across both sides, J = number of USING columns. For wide tables
+(C large) with many join keys (J large), this degrades to O(C²) in the worst case.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `ArrayList<Integer>` with `HashSet<Integer>` for O(1) membership lookup. The lists are
+only used for contains checks in the output phase; the ordering is not required for that.
+
+```java
+Set<Integer> leftJoinFields = new HashSet<>();
+Set<Integer> rightJoinFields = new HashSet<>();
+
+// build phase
+for (Identifier column : columns) {
+    leftJoinFields.add(leftField.getRelationFieldIndex());
+    rightJoinFields.add(rightField.getRelationFieldIndex());
+    joinFields.add(Field.newUnqualified(column.getValue(), type.get()));
+    // ... other logic unchanged
+}
+
+// output phase: O(C) total
+for (int i = 0; i < left.getRelationType().getAllFieldCount(); i++) {
+    if (!leftJoinFields.contains(i)) {   // O(1) hash lookup
+        outputs.add(left.getRelationType().getFieldByIndex(i));
+        leftFields.add(i);
+    }
+}
+for (int i = 0; i < right.getRelationType().getAllFieldCount(); i++) {
+    if (!rightJoinFields.contains(i)) {  // O(1) hash lookup
+        outputs.add(right.getRelationType().getFieldByIndex(i));
+        rightFields.add(i);
+    }
+}
+// Pass sets to JoinUsingAnalysis (also accepts Collection<Integer>)
+analysis.setJoinUsing(node, new Analysis.JoinUsingAnalysis(
+    ImmutableList.copyOf(leftJoinFields), ImmutableList.copyOf(rightJoinFields),
+    leftFields.build(), rightFields.build()));
+```

+## CWE-407 — Algorithmic Complexity: Unnecessary Quadratic Complexity (List membership inside loop)
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| ID | vertx-core-0001 |
+| Severity | HIGH |
+| Ecosystem | vertx-core |
+| Package | io.vertx.core.impl |
+| File | `vertx-core/src/main/java/io/vertx/core/impl/HAManager.java` |
+| Lines | 307–314 |
+| Complexity | O(N×M) |
+| Hot path | every cluster node departure event |
+
+## Defect
+
+`HAManager.nodeLeft()` is called whenever a node leaves a Vert.x cluster. It
+resumes any prior failed failovers by scanning `clusterMap` for entries not in
+the current live node list. The live node list is obtained from
+`clusterManager.getNodes()` which returns a `List<String>`. For each of the N
+entries in `clusterMap`, it calls `nodes.contains(entry.getKey())` — an O(M)
+linear scan of the node list. With N cluster-map entries and M live nodes the
+total cost is O(N×M) per node-departure event.
+
+```java
+// HAManager.java line 307-314
+List<String> nodes = clusterManager.getNodes();   // returns List<String>
+
+for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry: clusterMap.entrySet()) {
+    if (!leftNodeID.equals(entry.getKey()) && !nodes.contains(entry.getKey())) {
+        //                                          ^^^^^^^^ O(M) per iteration
+        JsonObject haInfo = new JsonObject(entry.getValue());
+        checkFailover(entry.getKey(), haInfo);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The same pattern appears in `addHaInfoIfLost()` (line 319):
+```java
+if (clusterManager.getNodes().contains(nodeID) && ...)  // O(M) single call, low risk
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Convert the node list to a `HashSet` before the loop so membership checks are O(1).
+
+```java
+Set<String> nodesSet = new HashSet<>(clusterManager.getNodes());
+
+for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry: clusterMap.entrySet()) {
+    if (!leftNodeID.equals(entry.getKey()) && !nodesSet.contains(entry.getKey())) {
+        JsonObject haInfo = new JsonObject(entry.getValue());
+        checkFailover(entry.getKey(), haInfo);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For `addHaInfoIfLost()` the single call is not in a loop so is low risk — but can be converted similarly if consistency is desired.
+
+## Speedup
+
+| N (clusterMap entries) | M (nodes) | Before (ops) | After (ops) | Speedup |
+|------------------------|-----------|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| 100 | 100 | 10,000 | 100 | 100× |
+| 500 | 500 | 250,000 | 500 | 500× |
+| 1,000 | 1,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,000 | 1,000× |
+
+In large Vert.x HA clusters with many concurrent deployments the quadratic
+cost is paid on every node failure event — exactly when latency matters most
+for failover speed.
