+# groovy-0001 — StaticTypeCheckingVisitor: `collectedNames` ArrayList linear scan O(E×C)
+
+## Classification
+
+CWE-407 · Algorithmic Complexity · MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+
+`src/main/java/org/codehaus/groovy/transform/stc/StaticTypeCheckingVisitor.java`
+Method: `checkNamedParamsAnnotation`
+
+## Description
+
+`collectedNames` is declared as `ArrayList<String>` and populated with one name
+per `@NamedParam` annotation.  The outer loop iterates over every entry in the
+`entries` map (one per actual argument supplied at the call site) and, for each
+entry, calls `collectedNames.contains(name)` — an O(C) linear scan of the list.
+
+When a method has C named-param annotations and the caller supplies E arguments,
+the total work is **O(E × C)**.  In practice both E and C are small, but any
+method that accepts a map of keyword arguments (common in Groovy DSLs) makes
+this a hot path during static compilation.
+
+## Defective Code
+
+```java
+// StaticTypeCheckingVisitor.java  ~line 3205
+List<String> collectedNames = new ArrayList<>();
+// ... populate collectedNames via processNamedParam() calls ...
+
+if (!collectedNames.isEmpty()) {
+    for (Map.Entry<Object, MapEntryExpression> entry : entries.entrySet()) {
+        Object name = entry.getKey();
+        if (!collectedNames.contains(name)) {          // O(C) linear scan
+            addStaticTypeError("unexpected named arg: " + name, entry.getValue());
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `ArrayList` with `HashSet` so membership is O(1):
+
+```java
+-   List<String> collectedNames = new ArrayList<>();
++   Set<String> collectedNames = new HashSet<>();
+```
+
+Import addition required:
+
+```java
++import java.util.HashSet;
++import java.util.Set;
+```
+
+The `processNamedParam` callee already uses only `collectedNames.add()` and the
+check at the end uses only `collectedNames.contains()` — both are identical on
+`HashSet`, so no further changes are needed.

+# groovy-0002 — Verifier: `Arrays.asList(params).contains(p)` fresh allocation per variable expression O(V×P)
+
+## Classification
+
+CWE-407 · Algorithmic Complexity · MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+
+`src/main/java/org/codehaus/groovy/classgen/Verifier.java`
+Methods: `addDefaultParameterMethods`, `addDefaultParameterConstructors`
+(invoked via `addDefaultParameters`)
+
+## Description
+
+For every method or constructor with default parameter values, Groovy's `Verifier`
+generates stripped variants (one per optional parameter dropped).  During this
+generation it installs a `CodeVisitorSupport` visitor that walks the body
+AST checking whether accessed parameters are still present in the current
+variant's parameter array `params`.
+
+Inside `visitVariableExpression`, the check is:
+
+```java
+!Arrays.asList(params).contains(p)
+```
+
+`Arrays.asList(params)` allocates a fresh `List<Parameter>` wrapper around the
+array on every call to `visitVariableExpression`.  `.contains(p)` then performs
+an O(P) linear scan.
+
+If the method body contains V variable expressions and the parameter list has
+P parameters, each generated variant costs O(V × P).  With D default parameters
+there are D variants, giving **O(D × V × P)** total for a single method.
+
+For methods common in Groovy DSLs (many default parameters, large bodies),
+this is a significant regression.
+
+## Defective Code
+
+```java
+// Verifier.java  ~line 963  (addDefaultParameterMethods)
+if (!Arrays.asList(params).contains(p) && Arrays.asList(method.getParameters()).contains(p)) {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// ~line 1043  (addDefaultParameterConstructors)
+if (p.getInitialExpression() instanceof ConstantExpression && !Arrays.asList(params).contains(p)){
+
+// ~line 1054
+if (p.hasInitialExpression() && !Arrays.asList(params).contains(p)) {
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Convert `params` and `method.getParameters()` to `Set` once, before the visitor
+is constructed:
+
+```java
+Set<Parameter> paramsSet = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(params));
+Set<Parameter> allParamsSet = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(method.getParameters()));
+
+// Inside the visitor:
+if (!paramsSet.contains(p) && allParamsSet.contains(p)) { ... }
+```
