+## Apache Ant — CWE-407 Scan Result: CLEAN
+
+Scanned: `src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/` (depth=1 clone, 2026-03-27)
+
+### Patterns checked
+
+| Location | Type | Verdict |
+|----------|------|---------|
+| `DirectoryScanner.processIncluded()` L1348 | `inc/exc/des.contains()` | CLEAN — lists are `VectorSet<>` (O(1) HashSet-backed `contains()`) |
+| `Project.executeTargets()` | `succeededTargets.contains()` | CLEAN — `HashSet<String>` |
+| `ComponentHelper` | `checkedNamespaces.contains()` | CLEAN — `HashSet<String>` |
+| `AntAnalyzer.determineDependencies()` | `dependencies.contains()` | CLEAN — `HashSet<String>` |
+| `Javadoc` | `addedPackages.contains()` | CLEAN — `HashSet<String>` |
+| `Main.handleArg()` | `LAUNCH_COMMANDS.contains()` | CLEAN — `unmodifiableSet(HashSet)` |
+
+### Key finding
+
+Ant already fixed the O(N) `DirectoryScanner` `contains()` issue in **Ant 1.8.0** by
+introducing `VectorSet<E>` (`src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/util/VectorSet.java`).
+`VectorSet.contains()` delegates to an internal `HashSet<E>` — O(1). The class comment
+says it was created precisely because the `protected` field types in `DirectoryScanner`
+prevented switching to a pure `HashSet`.
+
+No CWE-407 defects found.

+# cel-0001: canvas.py append_to_list_option O(N²) list membership in chain/chord build loops
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — linear membership test in hot loop)
+**Speedup:** ~Nx at N=500 tasks/callbacks (verified by unit test)
+**Target:** Celery (celery/celery)
+**Files:**
+- `celery/canvas.py:702-706` — `Signature.append_to_list_option`: list-based deduplication
+- `celery/canvas.py:1029-1033` — `Chain._clone_tasks`: calls `link`/`link_error` inside loops
+- `celery/canvas.py:1260-1262` — `Chain.prepare_steps`: calls `link_error` inside task loop
+
+## Description
+
+`append_to_list_option` deduplicates options (link callbacks, link_error callbacks)
+using a plain list membership test:
+
+```python
+def append_to_list_option(self, key, value):
+    items = self._with_list_option(key)   # returns self.options[key] as list
+    if value not in items:                # O(L) linear scan — L = list length
+        items.append(value)
+    return value
+```
+
+This method is called in two hot loops during chain construction:
+
+**Loop 1** — `_clone_tasks` (canvas.py:1031-1033):
+```python
+for sig in maybe_list(self.options.get('link_error')) or []:
+    for task in tasks:                    # O(T) outer loop
+        task.link_error(sig)              # → append_to_list_option → O(L) scan
+```
+With T tasks and L accumulated link_error entries, cost is O(T × L).
+
+**Loop 2** — `prepare_steps` (canvas.py:1260-1262):
+```python
+for errback in maybe_list(link_error):   # O(E) outer loop
+    task.link_error(errback)             # → append_to_list_option → O(L) scan
+```
+Called once per task in the chain: O(T × E × L) total.
+
+In Celery workflows with long chains (T=500 tasks) and multiple error callbacks
+(E=10), and growing callback lists (L grows with each call), the cost is
+O(T × E × L) = potentially O(N³) in degenerate cases.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`_with_list_option` returns a plain Python `list` stored in `self.options`. The
+`not in` deduplication guard is O(L) per call. The list is mutable and grows with
+each `append_to_list_option` call, so repeated calls in a loop produce quadratic
+total scan cost.
+
+Fix: maintain a parallel `set` mirror of the list for O(1) deduplication, or use
+an insertion-ordered data structure that supports O(1) membership.
+
+## Patch
+
+See `patch/cel-0001-canvas-append-list-option-membership.patch`
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`value not in items` (list): **O(L)**
+Total in chain build loop: **O(T × E × L)** — approaches O(N³) for long chains
+
+## Complexity After
+
+`value not in items_set` (set): **O(1)** average
+Total: **O(T × E)**
+
+## Reproduction

+Subject: [PATCH] canvas: replace list membership test in append_to_list_option with set mirror
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(L) linear membership test inside chain
+build loops.  append_to_list_option() uses `value not in items` where items
+is a plain list, and this method is called inside O(T) task loops and O(E)
+errback loops during Chain construction, producing O(T×E×L) total comparisons.
+
+Fix: store a parallel set alongside each list option for O(1) average membership
+test.  The list is preserved for ordering; the set is used only for deduplication
+guard.  Uses a dict-based shadow store keyed by the option key name.
+
+Defect-Id: CEL-001
+Severity: MEDIUM
+CWE: CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)

+# cilium-0001: CWE-407 — Quadratic L7 rule deduplication during network policy merge
+
+## Severity: MEDIUM

+Commit: 0b72c000
+
+## File
+`pkg/policy/rule.go`
+
+## Defective Lines
+```
+310:    for _, newRule := range newPolicy.HTTP {                      // outer: O(N) new rules
+311:        if !newRule.Exists(existingPolicy.L7Rules) {             // inner: O(M) linear scan

+318:        }
+319:    }
+```
+
+## Call Chain
+`Exists()` → `pkg/policy/api/utils.go:15` → `slices.ContainsFunc(rules.HTTP, h.Equal)`
+
+`slices.ContainsFunc` is a linear scan over the existing rules list.
+
+## Outer Loop Context
+This code is called from `mergeL4Filter()` which is invoked for every
+`(port, selector)` combination when reconciling network policies:
+```
+addFilter() → mergeL4Filter() → for each selector in PerSelectorPolicies:
+    for _, newRule := range newPolicy.HTTP { ... Exists() ... }
+```
+
+Policy reconciliation runs on every CiliumNetworkPolicy create/update/delete.
+
+## Complexity
+O(S × N × M) where:
+- S = number of selectors in the L4Filter
+- N = number of new HTTP/DNS rules being merged
+- M = number of existing HTTP/DNS rules already in the policy
+
+## Impact
+In clusters with complex CNP/CCNP policies (100+ selectors, each with 20+ L7 rules),
+policy reconciliation latency grows quadratically. This manifests as elevated
+`cilium_policy_regeneration_time_stats` metrics and endpoint regeneration delays
+that block traffic during policy updates.
+
+## Fix
+Build a hash set from `existingPolicy.L7Rules.HTTP` before the merge loop.
+The `PortRuleHTTP` struct can be hashed via its exported fields.
+
+```go
+// Before (defective):
+for _, newRule := range newPolicy.HTTP {
+    if !newRule.Exists(existingPolicy.L7Rules) {
+        existingPolicy.HTTP = append(existingPolicy.HTTP, newRule)
+    }
+}
+
+// After (fixed): pre-index existing rules
+type httpRuleKey struct{ Path, Method, Host string }
+existingHTTPSet := make(map[httpRuleKey]struct{}, len(existingPolicy.HTTP))
+for _, r := range existingPolicy.HTTP {
+    existingHTTPSet[httpRuleKey{r.Path, r.Method, r.Host}] = struct{}{}
+}
+for _, newRule := range newPolicy.HTTP {
+    key := httpRuleKey{newRule.Path, newRule.Method, newRule.Host}
+    if _, found := existingHTTPSet[key]; !found {
+        existingPolicy.HTTP = append(existingPolicy.HTTP, newRule)
+        existingHTTPSet[key] = struct{}{}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Note: Headers and HeaderMatches require a stable canonical form (sorted, joined)
+as part of the key, or the full Equal() check as a fallback for exact dedup.

+# crystal-0004: add_to_including_types — O(N²) Array#includes? in module instantiation loop
+
+## Severity: MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+- `src/compiler/crystal/types.cr:3568,3581` — `add_to_including_types` private helpers
+- `src/compiler/crystal/types.cr:1164-1170` — `NonGenericModuleType#add_to_including_types`
+- Called from: `including_types` method at lines 1154, 2220 during type union computation
+
+## Description
+`add_to_including_types` builds an `Array(Type)` representing the set of all concrete
+types that include a given module. For each type to add, it calls `all_types.includes?(instance)`
+— an O(N) linear scan — before appending. The outer loop iterates over all instantiated
+types of a generic module, making the total cost O(N²) where N = number of instantiated
+types for the module.
+
+`including_types` is called during `program.type_merge_union_of(all_types)` which runs
+during type inference for every expression whose type involves a module-based union. In
+programs with heavily-instantiated generic modules (e.g. `Comparable`, `Enumerable`,
+`Iterable`), this function is called many times with growing `all_types` arrays.
+
+## Root Cause
+```crystal
+# types.cr:3560-3581
+private def add_to_including_types(type : Crystal::GenericType, all_types)
+  type.each_instantiated_type do |instance|
+    next if instance.unbound?
+    next if instance.abstract?
+    all_types << instance unless all_types.includes?(instance)  # O(N) per insertion
+  end
+  type.subclasses.each do |subclass|
+    add_to_including_types subclass, all_types
+  end
+end
+
+private def add_to_including_types(type, all_types)
+  virtual_type = type.virtual_type
+  all_types << virtual_type unless all_types.includes?(virtual_type)  # O(N) per insertion
+end
+```
+
+`all_types` is an `Array(Type)` (line 1156: `Array(Type).new`). `Array#includes?` scans
+the array linearly. The function inserts up to M types, each requiring O(M) scan → O(M²).
+For modules with many generic instantiations, M grows with program size.
+
+## Fix
+Track seen types in a `Set(Type)` alongside the array. Since `Type` instances are
+identity-compared (pointer equality), `Set(Type)` provides O(1) membership:
+
+```crystal
+# NonGenericModuleType#including_types (types.cr:1154)
+def including_types
+  if including_types = @including_types
+    all_types = Array(Type).new(including_types.size)
+    seen = Set(Type).new
+    add_to_including_types(all_types, seen)
+    program.type_merge_union_of(all_types)
+  else
+    nil
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Pass `seen` through `add_to_including_types` and use `seen.includes?` (O(1)) instead
+of `all_types.includes?` (O(N)).
+
+## Complexity
+| | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| add_to_including_types (M types) | O(M²) | O(M) |
+| including_types | O(M²) | O(M) |
+
+## Impact
+For a generic module like `Comparable` instantiated by 100 types, building `all_types`
+costs 100 + 99 + ... + 1 = 5,050 comparisons today versus 100 set insertions with the fix.
+At 500 instantiations: 125,000 comparisons vs 500 insertions.

+# dgraph-0001: CWE-407 O(P) route cycle-check inside hot BFS/Dijkstra neighbour loop
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**File:** `query/shortest.go`
+**Function:** `runKShortestPaths` (line 286)
+**Lines:** 56–63 (`indexOf`), 380 (call site)
+**Repo:** https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph
+
+## Description
+
+`runKShortestPaths` implements Yen's k-shortest-paths algorithm using a priority
+queue over `queueItem` nodes. Each `queueItem` carries a `route` — a slice of
+`pathInfo` structs representing the path taken to reach the current node.
+
+Inside the main dequeue loop (line 325) there is an inner `range` over all
+neighbours (line 373). For each neighbour, the cycle-detection check at line 380
+calls `item.path.indexOf(toUid)`:
+
+```go
+// query/shortest.go:380
+if len(*item.path.route) > 0 && item.path.indexOf(toUid) != -1 {
+    continue
+}
+```
+
+`indexOf` is a linear scan of the path slice:
+
+```go
+// query/shortest.go:56–63
+func (r *route) indexOf(uid uint64) int {
+    for i, val := range *r.route {
+        if val.uid == uid {
+            return i
+        }
+    }
+    return -1
+}
+```
+
+## Complexity
+
+| Symbol | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| V | nodes (UIDs) in graph |
+| E | edges (neighbours) explored |
+| P | path length at dequeue time (up to V) |
+| K | number of shortest paths requested |
+
+Each dequeue processes up to E/V neighbours. Each neighbour call to `indexOf`
+is O(P). In the worst case P → V. The total cost is:
+
+```
+O(K * V * (E/V) * V) = O(K * E * V)
+```
+
+For a dense graph (E ≈ V²) and large K this degrades to O(K * V³). Even for
+sparse graphs (E ≈ V) it is O(K * V²), whereas the expected complexity of
+Yen's algorithm with O(1) cycle detection is O(K * V * log V).
+
+## Slow path
+
+Every call to `indexOf` inside the neighbour loop is a full O(P) scan of the
+current path slice. The path grows with each hop, so later queue items pay a
+higher per-neighbour cost.
+
+## Fast path
+
+Replace the `*[]pathInfo` path representation with a `map[uint64]struct{}`
+visited set carried alongside the route slice. `indexOf` (used only for cycle
+detection) becomes an O(1) map lookup; path reconstruction continues to use the
+slice for ordered output.
+
+## Fix sketch
+
+```go
+type route struct {
+    route       *[]pathInfo
+    visited     map[uint64]struct{}   // NEW: uid → present
+    totalWeight float64
+}
+
+// cycle check becomes:
+if _, ok := item.path.visited[toUid]; ok {
+    continue
+}
+```
+
+When copying a route for a new branch, shallow-copy the visited map (one
+allocation + N inserts where N = current path length — paid once per branch,
+not per neighbour).
+
+## Impact
+
+Any Dgraph query using `shortest` with `numpaths > 1` on a graph with cycles
+and long paths degrades from O(K * E * log V) to O(K * E * V). At V = 10,000
+nodes and K = 10 paths this is a 10,000× slower cycle check per edge expansion.
+Clients experience query timeouts on graphs that should complete in milliseconds.

+# elixir-0001: Mix.Dep.Converger.topological_sort — O(N²) Enum.find in Enum.map
+
+## Severity: HIGH
+
+## Location
+- `lib/mix/lib/mix/dep/converger.ex:33-35`
+- Called from: `converge/4` at line 76, `Mix.Dep.Umbrella.converger.ex:75`
+
+## Description
+`topological_sort/1` takes the sorted atom list returned by `:digraph_utils.topsort/1`
+and reconstructs the ordered `Mix.Dep` struct list by calling `Enum.find/2` (O(N) linear
+scan) inside `Enum.map/2` (O(N) loop). The result is O(N²) where N = total flattened
+dependency count for the Mix project.
+
+`topological_sort` is called on every invocation of `Mix.Dep.Converger.converge/4`,
+which runs during `mix deps.get`, `mix deps.compile`, `mix compile`, and umbrella builds.
+For large Mix projects with hundreds of transitive dependencies (common in Erlang/Elixir
+umbrella apps), this is a visible compilation bottleneck.
+
+## Root Cause
+```elixir
+# converger.ex:32-35
+if apps = :digraph_utils.topsort(graph) do
+  Enum.map(apps, fn app ->
+    Enum.find(deps, fn %Mix.Dep{app: other_app} -> app == other_app end)  # O(N) per app
+  end)
+```
+
+`:digraph_utils.topsort/1` returns a list of atom application names.
+`deps` is a list of N `Mix.Dep` structs.
+For each of the N apps, `Enum.find` walks up to N deps → O(N²) total.
+
+## Fix
+Build a map from app atom to dep struct before the loop, then do O(1) lookups:
+
+```elixir
+if apps = :digraph_utils.topsort(graph) do
+  dep_index = Map.new(deps, fn %Mix.Dep{app: app} = dep -> {app, dep} end)
+  Enum.map(apps, fn app -> dep_index[app] end)
+```
+
+`Map.new/2` is O(N), `dep_index[app]` is O(1), total O(N).
+
+## Complexity
+| | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| topological_sort | O(N²) | O(N) |
+| per mix compile | O(N²) | O(N) |
+
+## Impact
+A Mix umbrella application with 200 apps triggers 200 × 200 = 40,000 comparisons per
+compile. With N=500 (Nerves embedded frameworks, large Phoenix monorepos) that is
+250,000 comparisons. The fix reduces this to 500 comparisons.

+# envoy-0001: CWE-407 — Linear namespace membership scan on every ext_proc response, per-request
+

+
+## Defective Lines
+```
+1636:   auto receiving_namespaces = state.untypedReceivingMetadataNamespaces();
+1637:   for (const auto& context_key : response_metadata) {        // outer: O(M) metadata keys
+1638:       bool found_allowed_namespace = false;

+1643:           metadata_it != receiving_namespaces.end()) {
+```
+
+## Type of `receiving_namespaces`
+`std::vector<std::string>` — declared at `ext_proc.h:396` and `ext_proc.h:686`.
+`untypedReceivingMetadataNamespaces()` returns a `const std::vector<std::string>&`.
+
+## Complexity
+O(M × N) per HTTP request that triggers ext_proc dynamic metadata processing, where:
+- M = number of metadata keys in the ext_proc gRPC response
+- N = number of configured receiving namespaces
+
+This executes on the **request data plane hot path** inside `handleDynamicMetadata()`,
+called from `processResponse()` for every ext_proc filter response.
+
+## Impact
+At M=10 metadata keys and N=50 configured receiving namespaces, each ext_proc
+response triggers 500 string comparisons. At 10,000 RPS this is 5,000,000 string
+comparisons per second in a single worker thread. Latency spikes scale with N.
+The `receiving_namespaces` vector is rebuilt from config on every call via
+`state.untypedReceivingMetadataNamespaces()` (defensive copy at line 1636).
+
+## Fix
+Replace `std::vector<std::string>` with `absl::flat_hash_set<std::string>` for the
+receiving namespaces collection. Build once at filter config parse time; O(1)
+amortized lookup per metadata key.
+
+```cpp
+// In ExternalProcessorConfig (ext_proc.h):
+// Before:
+const std::vector<std::string> untyped_receiving_namespaces_;
+
+// After:
+const absl::flat_hash_set<std::string> untyped_receiving_namespaces_;
+
+// In handleDynamicMetadata (ext_proc.cc):
+// Before:
+if (auto metadata_it =
+        std::find(receiving_namespaces.begin(), receiving_namespaces.end(), context_key.first);
+    metadata_it != receiving_namespaces.end()) {
+
+// After:
+if (receiving_namespaces.contains(context_key.first)) {
+```

+# etcd CWE-407 Scan — CLEAN
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-27
+**Repo:** https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd
+**Scan scope:** `server/etcdserver/`, `client/v3/`, `pkg/`, `server/storage/mvcc/`
+
+## Findings
+
+No confirmed CWE-407 defects in production code paths.
+
+### Candidates examined
+
+| File | Line | Pattern | Verdict |
+|------|------|---------|---------|
+| `client/pkg/logutil/zap.go` | 86 | `slices.Contains(old, "/dev/null")` — called once in `mergePaths`, not inside a scaling loop | CLEAN |
+| `tools/proto-annotations/cmd/etcd_version.go` | 76 | `slices.Contains(externalPackages, pkg)` inside `RangeFiles` callback — `externalPackages` is a constant 8-element slice; O(8N) = O(N) | CLEAN |
+| `tests/robustness/traffic/key_store.go` | 132 | `slices.Contains(listKeys, key)` inside `for _, key := range k.keys` — genuine O(K*L) dedup pattern, but this is **test infrastructure** (robustness driver), not a production code path | CLEAN (test-only) |
+| `server/etcdserver/api/membership/cluster.go` | 770–782 | `ValidateClusterAndAssignIDs`: O(N²) peer URL matching — N is cluster member count, bounded ≤ 7 in practice; also a startup/reconfig path, not a hot loop | CLEAN (bounded) |
+| `server/storage/mvcc/watcher_group.go` | 184–186 | `watcherGroup.contains`: uses `map[string]watcherSet` (O(1)) + `IntervalTree.Intersects` (O(log N)) | CLEAN |
+| `server/storage/mvcc/watchable_store.go` | 450 | `c.contains(key)` — delegates to `watcherGroup.contains`, O(1)/O(log N) | CLEAN |
+
+## Summary
+
+etcd's watcher and membership machinery uses maps and interval trees for membership
+tests. No linear slice scans appear inside scaling loops in production code.

+# kubernetes-0004: TaintSetDiff — O(T²) quadratic taint membership test in node lifecycle controller
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — linear membership test inside a loop)
+**Speedup:** ~T× where T = number of taints on node (typically 2–20 system taints)
+**Target:** Kubernetes (kubernetes/kubernetes)
+**Files:**
+- `pkg/util/taints/taints.go:260` — `TaintSetDiff`: nested `TaintExists` call inside loop over taintsNew/taintsOld
+- `pkg/controller/nodelifecycle/node_lifecycle_controller.go:567` — hot-path caller in `doNoScheduleTaintingPass`
+
+## Description
+
+`TaintSetDiff` computes the symmetric difference between two taint slices. It is
+called from `doNoScheduleTaintingPass`, which runs for every node on every
+node-condition-change event (NotReady, PressureTaint, Unschedulable, etc.).
+
+The function iterates each taint in `taintsNew` and calls `TaintExists(taintsOld,
+&taint)`, which itself iterates all of `taintsOld` linearly:
+
+```go
+// pkg/util/taints/taints.go:260
+func TaintSetDiff(taintsNew, taintsOld []v1.Taint) (taintsToAdd []*v1.Taint, taintsToRemove []*v1.Taint) {
+    for _, taint := range taintsNew {
+        if !TaintExists(taintsOld, &taint) {   // O(|taintsOld|) per iteration
+            t := taint
+            taintsToAdd = append(taintsToAdd, &t)
+        }
+    }
+    for _, taint := range taintsOld {
+        if !TaintExists(taintsNew, &taint) {   // O(|taintsNew|) per iteration
+            t := taint
+            taintsToRemove = append(taintsToRemove, &t)
+        }
+    }
+    return
+}
+```
+
+```go
+// pkg/util/taints/taints.go:243
+func TaintExists(taints []v1.Taint, taintToFind *v1.Taint) bool {
+    for _, taint := range taints {
+        if taint.MatchTaint(taintToFind) {
+            return true
+        }
+    }
+    return false
+}
+```
+
+For T taints per slice, `TaintSetDiff` performs O(T²) `MatchTaint` comparisons:
+- First loop: `|taintsNew| × |taintsOld|` comparisons
+- Second loop: `|taintsOld| × |taintsNew|` comparisons
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`TaintSetDiff` uses `TaintExists` (O(T) linear scan) inside a loop rather than
+building a lookup structure from one slice and doing O(1) membership tests in
+the other loop.
+
+A taint's identity is fully determined by `(Key, Effect)` — a composite key
+that can be used as a map key. Building a `map[string]v1.Taint` (keyed by
+`Key+"/"+Effect`) from `taintsOld` before the first loop reduces both passes to
+O(T) total.
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`TaintSetDiff`: **O(T²)** — two nested linear scans for T taints per slice.
+Called per node per condition-change event in `doNoScheduleTaintingPass`.
+
+## Complexity After
+
+**O(T)** — build set from one slice, O(1) lookup in both passes.
+
+## Patch
+
+```go
+// Fixed TaintSetDiff using a map-based lookup set
+func TaintSetDiff(taintsNew, taintsOld []v1.Taint) (taintsToAdd []*v1.Taint, taintsToRemove []*v1.Taint) {
+    oldSet := make(map[string]struct{}, len(taintsOld))
+    for i := range taintsOld {
+        oldSet[taintsOld[i].Key+"/"+string(taintsOld[i].Effect)] = struct{}{}
+    }
+    newSet := make(map[string]struct{}, len(taintsNew))
+    for i := range taintsNew {
+        newSet[taintsNew[i].Key+"/"+string(taintsNew[i].Effect)] = struct{}{}
+    }
+    for i := range taintsNew {
+        k := taintsNew[i].Key + "/" + string(taintsNew[i].Effect)
+        if _, found := oldSet[k]; !found {
+            t := taintsNew[i]
+            taintsToAdd = append(taintsToAdd, &t)
+        }
+    }
+    for i := range taintsOld {
+        k := taintsOld[i].Key + "/" + string(taintsOld[i].Effect)
+        if _, found := newSet[k]; !found {
+            t := taintsOld[i]
+            taintsToRemove = append(taintsToRemove, &t)
+        }
+    }
+    return
+}

+
+## Description
+
+The `TaintToleration` scheduler plugin's `Score` extension point calls
+`countIntolerableTaintsPreferNoSchedule` for every candidate node in the
+scheduling cycle. This function iterates over a node's taints and for each taint
+calls `TolerationsTolerateTaint`, which linearly scans all pod tolerations:
+
+```go
+// taint_toleration.go:180
+func (pl *TaintToleration) countIntolerableTaintsPreferNoSchedule(
+    logger klog.Logger, taints []v1.Taint, tolerations []v1.Toleration) (intolerableTaints int) {
+    for _, taint := range taints {                   // O(T) — taints on node
+        if taint.Effect != v1.TaintEffectPreferNoSchedule {
+            continue
+        }
+        if !v1helper.TolerationsTolerateTaint(logger, tolerations, &taint, ...) {
+            intolerableTaints++
+        }
+    }
+    return
+}
+
+// component-helpers/scheduling/corev1/helpers.go:78
+func TolerationsTolerateTaint(logger klog.Logger, tolerations []v1.Toleration, taint *v1.Taint, ...) bool {
+    for i := range tolerations {                     // O(L) — tolerations per pod
+        if tolerations[i].ToleratesTaint(logger, taint, ...) {
+            return true
+        }
+    }
+    return false
+}
+```
+
+Called from `Score`:
+```go
+// taint_toleration.go:205
+score := int64(pl.countIntolerableTaintsPreferNoSchedule(logger, node.Spec.Taints, s.tolerationsPreferNoSchedule))
+```
+
+`Score` is invoked once per candidate node per pod scheduling cycle. With N nodes,
+T taints per node, and L pod tolerations:
+
+- **Current**: O(N × T × L) per scheduling cycle
+- **Fixed**: O(L) once in PreScore to build a toleration key set; O(T) per node in Score for O(N × T) total
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`TolerationsTolerateTaint` performs a linear scan of all tolerations for each
+taint lookup. The pod's `tolerationsPreferNoSchedule` is static throughout the
+scoring phase (computed once in `PreScore`) but its effective set membership is
+re-computed via linear scan for every taint on every node.
+
+The fix is to build a map of `(key, effect)` toleration keys once in `PreScore`,
+then do O(1) lookup per taint in `countIntolerableTaintsPreferNoSchedule`.
+Wildcard tolerations (empty Key) require a flag indicating their presence.
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`Score` per pod: **O(N × T × L)** — N nodes × T taints per node × L tolerations per pod.
+For a 5,000-node cluster with T=5 taints and L=20 tolerations: 500,000 string comparisons per pod scheduling.
+
+## Complexity After
+
+**O(L + N × T)** — O(L) map build in PreScore + O(T) map lookup per node in Score.
+For the same cluster: 25,000 operations per pod scheduling — 20× reduction.
+
+## Patch
+
+In `PreScore`, extend `preScoreState` to include a map of toleration keys built
+from `tolerationsPreferNoSchedule`. In `countIntolerableTaintsPreferNoSchedule`,
+use the map for O(1) toleration lookup instead of calling `TolerationsTolerateTaint`.
+
+```go
+// Extended preScoreState
+type preScoreState struct {
+    tolerationsPreferNoSchedule []v1.Toleration
+    tolerationKeySet            map[string]v1.TolerationOperator // key → Exists/Equal, empty key = wildcard
+    hasWildcardToleration       bool
+}
+
+// In PreScore:
+func buildTolerationKeySet(tolerations []v1.Toleration) (map[string]v1.TolerationOperator, bool) {
+    m := make(map[string]v1.TolerationOperator, len(tolerations))
+    hasWildcard := false
+    for _, t := range tolerations {
+        if t.Key == "" {
+            hasWildcard = true
+        } else {
+            m[t.Key+"/"+string(t.Effect)] = t.Operator
+            m[t.Key+"/"] = t.Operator // effect-less toleration covers all effects
+        }
+    }
+    return m, hasWildcard
+}
+```

+# kubernetes-0006: tainteviction handleNodeUpdate — O(P×T×L) GetMatchingTolerations on every node taint change
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — O(T×L) nested linear scan called once per pod per node-taint event)
+**Speedup:** ~L× where L = average toleration count per pod

+
+## Description
+
+`handleNodeUpdate` is invoked whenever a node's taint set changes (node becomes
+NotReady, Unreachable, or a custom NoExecute taint is added/removed). It fetches
+all pods assigned to the node and for each pod calls `processPodOnNode`, which
+calls `GetMatchingTolerations(taints, pod.Spec.Tolerations)`:
+
+```go
+// taint_eviction.go:533

+    // ...
+    pods, err := tc.getPodsAssignedToNode(node.Name)

+        tc.processPodOnNode(ctx, ..., pod.Spec.Tolerations, taints, now)
+    }
+}
+
+// taint_eviction.go:463
+func (tc *Controller) processPodOnNode(..., tolerations []v1.Toleration, taints []v1.Taint, ...) {
+    allTolerated, usedTolerations := v1helper.GetMatchingTolerations(logger, taints, tolerations)
+    // ...
+}
+
+// pkg/apis/core/v1/helper/helpers.go:280
+func GetMatchingTolerations(logger klog.Logger, taints []v1.Taint, tolerations []v1.Toleration) (bool, []v1.Toleration) {
+    // ...
+    for i := range taints {                                 // O(T) — NoExecute taints
+        tolerated := false
+        for j := range tolerations {                        // O(L) — toleration scan per taint
+            if tolerations[j].ToleratesTaint(logger, &taints[i], ...) {
+                result = append(result, tolerations[j])
+                tolerated = true
+                break
+            }
+        }
+        if !tolerated {
+            return false, []v1.Toleration{}
+        }
+    }
+    return true, result
+}
+```
+
+For a node with P pods, T NoExecute taints, and L tolerations per pod:
+
+- **Current**: O(P × T × L) per `handleNodeUpdate` call
+- **Fixed**: O(T × L) with per-taint toleration index built once per node-taint-set, O(1) per pod per taint
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The node's taint set (`taints`) is fixed for the entire `handleNodeUpdate` call —
+it does not change between pod iterations. However, `GetMatchingTolerations`
+rebuilds the toleration-matching logic from scratch for every pod.
+
+The taints are small (typically 1–3 NoExecute taints). For each taint, an O(1)
+lookup into a per-pod toleration map would reduce the inner O(L) loop to O(1).
+
+Better: build a `map[string]v1.Toleration` indexed by taint key+effect for each
+pod once and then do O(T) lookups per pod. With T taints constant across all P
+pods, this reduces from O(P×T×L) to O(P×(T+L)) = O(P×L) build + O(P×T) lookup.
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+Per `handleNodeUpdate`: **O(P × T × L)** — for a node with 110 pods (default
+`--max-pods`), 2 NoExecute taints, and 10 tolerations per pod: 2,200 string
+comparisons on every node health state change.
+
+For a large cluster where a zone fails and 1,000 nodes go NotReady simultaneously,
+the controller processes 110,000 pods × 20 comparisons = 2.2M comparisons in a
+single control-plane event burst.
+
+## Complexity After
+
+**O(P × (T + L))** — toleration map built once per pod (O(L)), then O(T) map
+lookups per pod for O(P×T) total matching work.
+
+## Patch
+
+In `processPodOnNode`, pre-index pod tolerations into a map before the taint loop:
+
+```go
+// Pre-index tolerations by (key, effect) and (key, "") for all-effect tolerations
+func indexTolerations(tolerations []v1.Toleration) (map[string]v1.Toleration, bool) {
+    m := make(map[string]v1.Toleration, len(tolerations))
+    hasWildcard := false
+    for _, t := range tolerations {
+        if t.Key == "" {
+            hasWildcard = true
+            continue
+        }
+        effectKey := t.Key + "/" + string(t.Effect)
+        if _, exists := m[effectKey]; !exists {
+            m[effectKey] = t
+        }
+        emptyKey := t.Key + "/"
+        if _, exists := m[emptyKey]; !exists {
+            m[emptyKey] = t
+        }
+    }
+    return m, hasWildcard
+}
+```
+
+Then in `GetMatchingTolerations` or `processPodOnNode`, use the indexed map for
+O(1) taint→toleration lookups instead of iterating all tolerations per taint.

+# nim-0001: sequtils.deduplicate — O(N²) result.contains in for loop
+
+## Severity: HIGH
+
+## Location
+- `lib/pure/collections/sequtils.nim:236-237`
+- Public stdlib API: `import std/sequtils; deduplicate(seq)`
+
+## Description
+`deduplicate[T](s: openArray[T], isSorted: bool = false): seq[T]` deduplicates a
+sequence by building the result array one element at a time. For each input element
+`itm`, it calls `result.contains(itm)` — which is an O(N) linear scan of the
+result array — before deciding to append. This makes the unsorted path O(N²).
+
+The function is public stdlib API used throughout the Nim ecosystem. The `isSorted`
+fast path exists (O(N) via adjacent comparison) but the default `isSorted = false`
+path is always O(N²). Users who don't pass `isSorted = true` or who have unsortable
+types get quadratic behavior silently.
+
+The Nim compiler itself calls `deduplicate` (via `nimsets.nim:713`) during enum set
+deduplication in type-checking.
+
+## Root Cause
+```nim
+# sequtils.nim:226-237
+result = @[]
+if s.len > 0:
+  if isSorted:
+    var prev = s[0]
+    result.add(prev)
+    for i in 1..s.high:
+      if s[i] != prev:
+        prev = s[i]
+        result.add(prev)
+  else:
+    for itm in items(s):
+      if not result.contains(itm): result.add(itm)  # O(N) scan, O(N) outer = O(N²)
+```
+
+`result.contains(itm)` on a `seq[T]` is O(len(result)) linear scan.
+Called for every element in the input → O(N²) total.
+
+## Fix
+For hashable types, use a `HashSet` as a seen-tracker alongside the result:
+
+```nim
+else:
+  var seen = initHashSet[T]()
+  for itm in items(s):
+    if itm notin seen:
+      seen.incl(itm)
+      result.add(itm)
+```
+
+For non-hashable types (no `hash` proc), sorting then deduplicating is O(N log N).
+A two-overload approach can dispatch at compile time using `when compiles(hash(s[0]))`.
+
+## Complexity
+| | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| deduplicate (unsorted, hashable) | O(N²) | O(N) |
+| deduplicate (unsorted, non-hashable) | O(N²) | O(N log N) |
+| deduplicate (isSorted = true) | O(N) | O(N) unchanged |
+
+## Impact
+Any Nim code that calls `deduplicate` on a sequence of N elements without passing
+`isSorted = true` incurs O(N²) cost. At N=10,000 that is 100 million comparisons
+versus 10,000 hash lookups. Affected: all code using `import std/sequtils` and
+calling `deduplicate` on unsorted data.

+# nim-0002: trees.cyclicTreeAux — O(N²) linear visited-seq scan in recursive DFS
+
+## Severity: MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+- `compiler/trees.nim:15-24` — `cyclicTreeAux`
+- Called from: `compiler/vm.nim:2590` after every macro expansion
+
+## Description
+`cyclicTreeAux` detects cycles in a `PNode` AST tree using a depth-first search.
+The cycle check is implemented by maintaining a `seq[PNode]` called `visited` (acting
+as the DFS path stack) and scanning it linearly with `for v in visited: if v == n`.
+
+For a tree of depth D, at each node the scan is O(D). For a path graph (maximally deep
+AST) with N nodes, depth D = N, and the scan at every node costs O(N) → total O(N²).
+
+`cyclicTree` is called by `vm.nim:2590` after **every macro expansion** during
+compilation. Nim macros are a first-class language feature; programs using macros
+heavily (meta-programming, DSLs, template libraries) trigger this check frequently
+with potentially large AST outputs.
+
+## Root Cause
+```nim
+# trees.nim:15-24
+proc cyclicTreeAux(n: PNode, visited: var seq[PNode]): bool =
+  result = false
+  if n == nil: return
+  for v in visited:           # O(D) linear scan of path stack
+    if v == n: return true    # pointer equality check
+  if not (n.kind in {nkEmpty..nkNilLit}):
+    visited.add(n)
+    for nSon in n.sons:
+      if cyclicTreeAux(nSon, visited): return true
+    discard visited.pop()
+```
+
+`visited` is a path-stack (add on descent, pop on ascent). The cycle check `for v in
+visited` scans all ancestors at every node — O(D) per node, O(N×D) total. For deep
+ASTs, D approaches N, giving O(N²).
+
+## Fix
+Replace the `seq[PNode]` with a `HashSet[pointer]` (hashing the `PNode` pointer):
+
+```nim
+proc cyclicTreeAux(n: PNode, visited: var HashSet[pointer]): bool =
+  result = false
+  if n == nil: return
+  if cast[pointer](n) in visited: return true    # O(1)
+  if not (n.kind in {nkEmpty..nkNilLit}):
+    visited.incl(cast[pointer](n))
+    for nSon in n.sons:
+      if cyclicTreeAux(nSon, visited): return true
+    visited.excl(cast[pointer](n))
+```
+
+`HashSet[pointer]` with `incl`/`excl` for path tracking gives O(1) membership test
+at each node → O(N) total.
+
+## Complexity
+| | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| cyclicTreeAux (path graph, N nodes) | O(N²) | O(N) |
+| cyclicTree (balanced tree, depth D) | O(N×D) | O(N) |
+
+## Impact
+Every macro that returns a large AST triggers O(N²) cycle detection. A macro returning
+a 1,000-node AST (common for code generation macros) triggers 1,000,000 comparisons
+versus 1,000 hash operations with the fix.

+Subject: [PATCH] cache_policies: convert Inputs.exclude to frozenset in compute_key() for O(1) membership
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(N×M) linear membership test in the
+task cache key computation hot path.  Inputs.compute_key() performs
+`key not in exclude` where exclude is a list[str], inside a for-loop over
+all task inputs, producing O(N×M) comparisons per cached task invocation.
+
+Fix: convert exclude list to a frozenset at compute_key() entry for O(1)
+average membership test.  The list field type is preserved for backward
+compatibility with serialization and policy composition (`__add__`/`__sub__`);
+conversion to set happens only during key computation where order is irrelevant.

+Subject: [PATCH] steps/core: replace printed_messages list with set for O(1) dedup
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(W²) linear deduplication of deprecation
+warning messages in run_steps().  `printed_messages` was a plain list; `message
+not in printed_messages` is O(W) per iteration inside an O(W) loop.
+
+Fix: use a set for O(1) average membership test.  Message strings are hashable;
+set membership is semantically equivalent (order of dedup does not matter).

+# pre-0001: cache_policies.py Inputs.exclude list O(N×M) membership in task cache hot path
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — linear membership test in hot loop)
+**Speedup:** ~Mx at M=50 exclude keys (verified by unit test)
+**Target:** Prefect (PrefectHQ/prefect)
+**Files:**
+- `src/prefect/cache_policies.py:364` — `Inputs.exclude: list[str]` field definition
+- `src/prefect/cache_policies.py:380-381` — `compute_key()`: list membership inside task input loop
+
+## Description
+
+`Inputs.compute_key()` is called on every cached task invocation to compute the
+cache key from task inputs. It filters out excluded keys using a plain list:
+
+```python
+# cache_policies.py:364
+exclude: list[str] = field(default_factory=lambda: [])
+
+# cache_policies.py:373-383
+def compute_key(self, task_ctx, inputs, flow_parameters, **kwargs):
+    hashed_inputs = {}
+    exclude = self.exclude or []       # plain list
+    for key, val in inputs.items():   # O(N) outer loop over task inputs
+        if key not in exclude:         # O(M) linear scan — O(N×M) total
+            ...
+    return hash_objects(hashed_inputs)
+```
+
+With N task input parameters and M excluded keys, `compute_key()` performs O(N×M)
+comparisons per task invocation. For workflows with many task inputs (N=100) and
+many exclusions (M=50), this is 5,000 comparisons per cache key computation instead
+of 100.
+
+`compute_key()` is on the direct invocation hot path for every cached task call —
+not a setup-time cost. This degrades throughput for high-throughput cached task
+workflows.
+
+The `Inputs` class is also used via `CachePolicy.__sub__` and `__add__`, which
+compose `exclude` lists via concatenation (`self.exclude + [other]`), meaning
+exclusion lists can grow with each policy composition.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`exclude` is typed as `list[str]` (line 364) and stored as a list. Converting to
+a `frozenset[str]` at `compute_key()` entry time (or at construction time) gives
+O(1) average membership test per key with no semantic change, since exclusion is
+order-independent.
+
+## Patch
+
+See `patch/pre-0001-cache-policies-exclude-list.patch`
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`key not in exclude` (list): **O(M)**
+Total per `compute_key()` call: **O(N×M)**
+
+## Complexity After
+
+`key not in exclude_set` (frozenset): **O(1)** average
+Total per `compute_key()` call: **O(N)**
+
+## Reproduction

+# pre-0002: deployments/steps/core.py printed_messages list O(W²) warning deduplication
+
+**Severity:** LOW

+**Target:** Prefect (PrefectHQ/prefect)
+**Files:**
+- `src/prefect/deployments/steps/core.py:191-202` — `run_steps()`: printed_messages list deduplication
+
+## Description
+
+`run_steps()` deduplicates deprecation warnings using a plain list inside a for-loop:
+
+```python
+printed_messages = []
+for warning in w:                            # O(W) outer loop
+    message = str(warning.message)
+    if message not in printed_messages:      # O(W) linear scan — O(W²) total
+        ...print...
+        printed_messages.append(message)
+```
+
+With W warnings per step, deduplication cost is O(W²). In practice W is small
+(deployment step warnings are bounded by deprecation notices), but the fix is
+trivial: use a `set` for O(1) membership.
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`message not in printed_messages` (list): **O(W)**
+Total: **O(W²)**
+

+Subject: [PATCH] autoscaler/local: replace list_of_node_ips list with set for O(1) membership
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(N²) linear membership test in cluster
+state reconciliation.  Both ClusterState.__init__ and OnPremCoordinatorState.__init__
+build a plain list of node IPs and then scan it inside a for-loop over all
+tracked nodes, producing O(N²) comparisons for N cluster nodes.
+
+Fix: convert list_of_node_ips to a set at construction time for O(1) average
+membership test.  The list is only used for membership testing in the loop body,
+so the semantic result is unchanged.
+
+Defect-Id: RAY-001
+Severity: MEDIUM
+CWE: CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)

+# ray-0001: local node provider list_of_node_ips O(N²) membership test during cluster reconciliation
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — linear membership test in hot loop)
+**Speedup:** ~Nx at N=200 node cluster (verified by unit test)
+**Target:** Ray (ray-project/ray)
+**Files:**
+- `python/ray/autoscaler/_private/local/node_provider.py:79-83` — `ClusterState.__init__`: list_of_node_ips linear scan
+- `python/ray/autoscaler/_private/local/node_provider.py:147-149` — `OnPremCoordinatorState.__init__`: same pattern
+
+## Description
+
+In `ClusterState.__init__`, node IP reconciliation builds a list and then scans it linearly
+inside a loop over all tracked workers:
+
+```python
+list_of_node_ips = list(provider_config["worker_ips"])   # line 79 — creates a list
+list_of_node_ips.append(provider_config["head_ip"])
+for worker_ip in list(workers):                           # O(N) outer loop
+    if worker_ip not in list_of_node_ips:                 # O(N) linear scan — O(N²) total
+        del workers[worker_ip]
+```
+
+`list_of_node_ips` is a Python `list`. The `not in` test on a list is O(N) via sequential
+comparison. With N cluster nodes, total cost is O(N²).
+
+The same pattern appears in `OnPremCoordinatorState.__init__` (line 147-149), where
+`list_of_node_ips` is a list parameter passed from the caller, and the same O(N²) scan
+occurs during coordinator state initialization.
+
+Both `ClusterState.__init__` and `OnPremCoordinatorState.__init__` are called during
+every cluster state sync (`create_or_update` call path), meaning the O(N²) cost is
+incurred on the autoscaler's hot reconciliation loop.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`list()` was used to convert `provider_config["worker_ips"]` (which may be any iterable)
+into a concrete sequence. Python `list` was chosen without considering that membership
+tests would be performed against it inside a loop. Converting to a `set` at construction
+time gives O(1) average membership test with no semantic change.
+
+## Patch
+
+See `patch/ray-0001-local-node-provider-list-membership.patch`
+
+## Complexity Before
+
+`worker_ip not in list_of_node_ips`: **O(N)**
+Total across N workers: **O(N²)**
+
+## Complexity After
+
+`worker_ip not in node_ip_set` (set): **O(1)** average
+Total: **O(N)**
+
+## Reproduction

+No confirmed CWE-407 defects in production code paths.
+
+### Candidates examined
+
+| File | Line | Pattern | Verdict |
+|------|------|---------|---------|
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/peer.rs` | 1624 | `down_peer_ids.contains(id)` (Vec<u64>) inside loop over raft progress — cluster size bounded ≤ ~100; `down_peer_ids` typically 0–3 entries | CLEAN (bounded constant) |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/peer.rs` | 5411 | `down_peer_ids.contains(&peer_id)` inside loop over `region.get_peers()` — same bounded size | CLEAN (bounded constant) |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/peer.rs` | 5540 | `down_peer_ids.contains(&x.get_id())` inside iterator chain — same | CLEAN (bounded constant) |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/peer.rs` | 1585 | `hibernate_vote_peer_ids.contains(id)` — `&[u64]` slice, loop over progress; both bounded | CLEAN (bounded constant) |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/peer.rs` | 2306 | `wait_data_peers.contains(&peer_id)` — single-key check after loop exit, not inside outer loop | CLEAN |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/snap.rs` | 232 | `SNAPSHOT_CFS.contains(&cf_file.cf)` — `SNAPSHOT_CFS` is 3 elements constant | CLEAN (constant) |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/snap.rs` | 1839 | `e.get().contains(&entry)` on `Vec<SnapEntry>` in `register()` — called once per snapshot registration, not inside a per-request loop | CLEAN |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/fsm/apply.rs` | 2762 | `replace_regions.contains(region_id)` — `replace_regions` is `HashSet`, O(1) | CLEAN |
+| `components/raftstore/src/store/unsafe_recovery.rs` | 447 | `failed_voter_ids.contains(&peer.get_id())` — `failed_voter_ids` is `HashSet`, O(1) | CLEAN |
+| `components/txn_types/src/timestamp.rs` | 189–195 | `TsSet::contains` — uses `Vec` only when len ≤ 8 (constant), else `HashSet` | CLEAN (hybrid) |
+| `src/storage/txn/latch.rs` | 525 | `preempted_cids.contains(x)` — test code | CLEAN (test-only) |
+
+## Summary
+
+TiKV consistently uses `HashSet` for unbounded membership sets. The few `Vec`
+membership scans that remain are either over cluster-topology data (bounded by
+small constant: 3–7 voters for typical Raft groups), static constant slices,
+or guarded by the `TS_SET_USE_VEC_LIMIT = 8` threshold in `TsSet`.
+No production CWE-407 confirmed.
