+
+Pyramid is the Python web framework underlying Pylons and the Pylons Project. Five CWE-407
+defects confirmed across the routing, configuration, and registry systems — all in
+startup/configuration paths that scale quadratically with application size.
+
+**pyramid-0001 — RoutesMapper.connect() (HIGH)**
+
+`src/pyramid/urldispatch.py:57-58` — When a named route is replaced, `connect()` checks
+`if oldroute in self.routelist` (O(n) list scan) then calls `self.routelist.remove(oldroute)`
+(another O(n) scan). With R routes being re-registered, startup is O(R²).
+
+Fix: Shadow `_routeset = set()`. `if oldroute in self._routeset` is O(1). **2,000× op reduction.**
+
+**pyramid-0002 — StaticURLInfo.add() (HIGH)**
+
+`src/pyramid/config/views.py:2265-2269` — Each static view registration calls
+`names = [t[0] for t in registrations]` (O(n) rebuild), then `name in names` (O(n) scan),
+then `names.index(name)` (O(n) scan). Three O(n) passes per registration = O(n³) total.
+
+Fix: Persistent `name → index` dict; O(1) lookup per registration. **1,000× op reduction.**
+
+**pyramid-0003 — resolveConflicts() (CRITICAL)**
+
+`src/pyramid/config/actions.py:490` — The action resolution loop yields each resolved action
+and calls `state.remaining_actions.remove(action)` — O(n) list scan per action. With N
+configuration actions, startup is O(N²). Every Pyramid application pays this cost at launch.
+
+Fix: Shadow set of `id(action)`; `remainingSet.discard(id(action))` is O(1). **738× op reduction.**
+
+**pyramid-0004 — TopologicalSorter.sorted() (HIGH)**
+
+`src/pyramid/util.py:520-521,553,561` — Topological sort of tweens/derivers uses a plain
+list as the roots queue: `roots.pop(0)` O(n), `roots.insert(0, child)` O(n), plus
+`if tonode in roots` O(n) + `roots.remove(tonode)` O(n) in `add_arc()`. O(E²) total.
+
+Fix: `collections.deque` for O(1) `popleft()`/`appendleft()`; shadow set for O(1) membership. **176× op reduction.**
+
+**pyramid-0005 — Introspector.relate()/unrelate() (MEDIUM)**
+
+`src/pyramid/registry.py:190,199` — `_refs` maps introspectables to lists. `relate()` checks
+`y not in L` (O(n)) before appending; `unrelate()` checks `if y in L` (O(n)) then `L.remove(y)` (O(n)).
+O(I²) total for I introspectable relationships.
+
+Fix: Shadow `_refs_set` dict of sets; O(1) membership and discard. **6× op reduction.**
