+Subject: [PATCH] playbook/role: replace seen list with identity-keyed set in get_vars()
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(D^2) linear scan deduplication in
+get_vars().  `seen` was a plain list used for membership testing inside
+an O(D) outer loop over get_all_dependencies(), producing O(D^2) total
+equality comparisons when D transitive dependencies exist.
+
+Role defines __eq__ for value-based comparison but not __hash__, so a
+plain set() would raise TypeError at runtime.  Fix: use id(dep) as the
+identity key — a parallel seen_ids set of integers gives O(1) average
+membership test and insertion.  The TODO comment in the source already
+flagged this: "re-examine dep loading to see if we are somehow
+improperly adding the same dep too many times."

+Subject: [PATCH] playbook/role: maintain parallel _collections_set for O(1) membership in _load_role_data()
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(C) list membership tests in
+_load_role_data().  self.collections is a list; the generator expression
+`c not in self.collections` performs an O(C) linear scan for each
+candidate collection, and the two subsequent `not in self.collections`
+guards for 'ansible.builtin' and 'ansible.legacy' add two more O(C)
+scans — O(C) total per call where C = current collections length.
+
+Fix: maintain a parallel _collections_set (Python set) as a shadow of
+self.collections.  All membership tests become O(1).  The list is
+retained unchanged so that ordering semantics (insert(0, ...), append)
+are preserved; _collections_set is kept in sync at every mutation site.

+Subject: [PATCH] ospf: replace SPF candidate sorted-list with binary min-heap
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — Insufficient Algorithmic Complexity
+
+DEFECT: BIRD-001 — HIGH
+
+proto/ospf/rt.c add_cand() maintains oa->cand as a sorted doubly-linked
+list. Insertion finds the sorted position via WALK_LIST — O(n) per call.
+Called once per edge relaxation in ospf_rt_spfa(). Net complexity:
+O(E * V) instead of O((E+V) log V).
+
+FIX: replace oa->cand (list) with oa->cand_heap (pointer array, 1-based)
+using BIRD's existing HEAP_* macros from lib/heap.h. Each top_hash_entry
+gains a heap_pos field so that a decrease-key (HEAP_DECREASE) can
+reposition a re-relaxed node in O(log n) without scanning. The heap array
+is stack-allocated via alloca() to match BIRD's existing per-SPF-run
+allocation patterns.
+
+Complexity after patch: O((E+V) log V) — textbook Dijkstra.

+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — Insufficient Algorithmic Complexity
+
+DEFECT: BIRD-002 — MEDIUM
+
+nest/a-set.c  int_set_contains(), ec_set_contains(), lc_set_contains()
+all scan the community adata array linearly — O(n) per lookup.
+
+Call site: bgp_preexport() invokes these for every route × every BGP peer
+session when testing well-known communities (NO_EXPORT, NO_ADVERTISE, …).
+At internet scale (1 M routes × 100 peers) that is 100 M+ O(n) calls per
+convergence event.
+
+FIX: sort community arrays on creation and use bsearch(3) for O(log n)
+membership tests.  Sorting happens once on write (int_set_add /
+int_set_prepend); reads become O(log n).  The adata format is unchanged —
+only the ordering guarantee is added.
+
+Note: ec_set and lc_set store multi-word entries.  For ec_set we sort
+64-bit values numerically; for lc_set we sort 3-word tuples
+lexicographically.  Both are consistent with the existing filter/data.c
+sort helpers (ec_set_sort / lc_set_sort already exist in some builds).

+Date: 2026-03-26
+Subject: [PATCH] mod_proxy_balancer: replace O(W) route scans with O(1) hash lookup (CWE-407)
+
+Three linear strcmp scans over all workers are performed on every sticky-session
+request: find_route_worker() (two passes for standby/non-standby), and a
+membership check in proxy_balancer_pre_request().  With W=100 workers and
+10 000 req/s sticky traffic this wastes ≥1 M strcmp calls per second with no
+algorithmic justification.
+
+Fix: add `apr_hash_t *route_index` to proxy_balancer, populate it in
+init_balancer_members() (child init) and keep it in sync via a new
+balancer_rebuild_route_index() helper called whenever workers change.
+Both O(W) route-scan loops are replaced by a single apr_hash_get() call.
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity attack via quadratic work per request.

+Subject: [PATCH] algorithms/cycles: replace B defaultdict(list) with defaultdict(set) in recursive_simple_cycles
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(N) list membership test in
+recursive_simple_cycles().  B was a defaultdict(list) used to track
+graph portions yielding no elementary circuit.  The inner loop called
+`if thisnode not in B[nextnode]` (O(|B[nextnode]|)) followed by
+`B[nextnode].append(thisnode)` inside circuit(), which is invoked for
+every edge in every DFS frame.  Total cost per component is O(E × |B|).
+
+Replace with defaultdict(set): `not in` on a set is O(1) amortised;
+`add` replaces `append`.  The `_unblock` helper uses `pop()` on the
+collection — set.pop() is valid and semantically equivalent here since
+order does not matter for unblocking.  No algorithmic contract changes.
+
+Defect-Id: NX-001

+Subject: [PATCH] graph/simple_graph: replace Array path with Set+Array pair in paths_in_cycle BFS
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(|cycle|^3) Array#member? in the
+BFS loop of paths_in_cycle().  frame[1] is a growing Array used as both
+the path record and the membership oracle.  Each call to
+frame[1].member?(frame[0]) is O(path_length); paths grow as BFS
+expands; in the worst case (a fully connected cycle of length N) this
+produces O(N^3) total comparisons.
+
+Fix: replace the bare Array path with a two-field frame [vertex,
+path_array, path_set] where path_set is a Ruby Set parallel to
+path_array.  Membership testing uses path_set.include?() for O(1)
+average cost.  path_array is retained unchanged so that found paths
+preserve their ordering and the existing `found.sort` contract is
+unchanged.
+
+Ruby's Set (from 'set') gives O(1) average include? via hash-based
+storage.  No behaviour change; only the membership-test complexity is
+affected.
+
+Defect-Id: PUP-001
+Severity: LOW (error path — cycles are uncommon in valid Puppet catalogs)
+CWE: CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)

+Subject: [PATCH] cop/ignored_node: replace @ignored_nodes Array with identity Set
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(N) linear scan in IgnoredNode.
+@ignored_nodes was initialised as a plain Array.  Both `ignored_node?`
+(uses `any? { |n| n.equal?(node) }`) and `part_of_ignored_node?`
+(uses `map(&:loc).any?`) iterate the full array on each call.  In
+string-literal cops, `on_str` fires for every string node in a file;
+if R string nodes and S ignored nodes exist the total cost is O(R × S).
+
+Fix: initialise @ignored_nodes as `Set.new.compare_by_identity`.
+`compare_by_identity` makes the Set use object identity (same as
+`equal?`) for equality and hash, so `include?(node)` is O(1).  The
+`ignore_node` method's `<<` append works unchanged on Set.
+
+`part_of_ignored_node?` iterates over ignored node locations rather than
+testing membership — it cannot be collapsed to a bare `include?` — but
+it benefits from the reduced iteration cost when combined with early-exit
+and, more importantly, from not being called for nodes already confirmed
+via `ignored_node?`.  The `map(&:loc).any?` pattern is left structurally
+intact; only the backing collection changes.

+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(S) linear scan in RedundantSelf.
+@allowed_send_nodes was initialised as a plain Array (`[]`) in the
+constructor.  The `allowed_send_node?` predicate calls
+`@allowed_send_nodes.include?(node)`, which is O(S) where S is the
+number of allowed send nodes accumulated so far.  `on_send` calls
+`allowed_send_node?` for every send node in the file, making total cost
+O(sends × allowed_nodes).
+
+Fix: initialise as `Set.new.compare_by_identity`.  Node objects are
+compared by identity throughout RuboCop internals; `compare_by_identity`
+makes the Set use object_id for hashing, so `include?` is O(1).  The
+`allow_self` method uses `<<` to append — unchanged, works on Set.

+Subject: [PATCH] source/chain: replace @@inference_stack class-variable Array with thread-local Set
+
+CWE-407 + thread-safety defect in Chain#infer_from_definitions.
+@@inference_stack was a class-level Array shared across all threads.
+Two defects:
+
+1. CWE-407: `@@inference_stack.include?(pin)` is O(D) per pin where D
+   is the current inference depth.  Called inside two loops in
+   `infer_from_definitions` — once for typify pins and once for probe
+   pins — making total cost O(D × |pins|) per infer call.
+
+2. Thread-safety: a class variable mutated with push/pop from multiple
+   Ractors/threads (e.g., concurrent LSP requests) causes races.
+   One thread's push/pop interleaves with another's, corrupting the
+   recursion guard.
+
+Fix: replace with `Thread.current[:solargraph_inference_stack]`,
+initialised lazily as `Set.new` per thread.  Set#include? is O(1).
+Each thread owns its own stack, eliminating the race.  add/delete
+replace push/pop (order is irrelevant for a recursion guard).
+
+@@inference_depth and @@inference_cache are left as class variables —
+they are either counters (depth) or caches that benefit from sharing
+(cache).  Only the identity-guard set needs per-thread isolation.

+Subject: [PATCH] api_map/constants: remove skip.to_a conversion in inner_get_constants
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via unnecessary Array conversion of a
+Set inside a recursive method in Constants#inner_get_constants.
+
+`skip` is already a Set throughout the call chain — it is created as
+`Set.new` in `collect_and_cache` and passed into `inner_qualify` as
+`Set.new` in `qualify_namespace`.  However, inside `inner_get_constants`
+two lines call `pin.closure.gates - skip.to_a`:
+
+  pre_fqns = resolve(pre.name, pin.closure.gates - skip.to_a)   # line 262
+  inc_fqns = resolve(pin.name, pin.closure.gates - skip.to_a)   # line 267
+
+`skip.to_a` allocates a new Array on every call.  `gates - array`
+performs an O(|gates| × |skip|) set-difference by linear scan.  Because
+`inner_get_constants` is recursive (called for prepends, includes, and
+superclass chains), the total cost is O(depth × |gates| × |skip|²) per
+`collect` call.
+
+Fix: pass `skip` directly.  `Array - Set` is supported in Ruby (Set
+responds to `include?` which Array#- uses internally via Enumerable),
+so `gates - skip` is O(|gates|) with O(1) per-element lookup.  No
+`.to_a` allocation needed.

+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(depth) list membership test and
+O(depth) list copy at every recursion level in _has_loop().
+
+seen is a plain Python list.  At each recursive call:
+  - `if dep not in seen` performs a linear scan — O(depth)
+  - `list(seen)` copies the entire list — O(depth)
+
+For a dependency graph with V machines each having D requires entries the
+total work is O(V × D × depth²), which degenerates to O(V³) for a linear
+chain.
+
+Fix: change seen to a set (machine name strings are hashable).
+`val in seen` becomes O(1) amortised.  `set(seen)` copy is still O(depth)
+but avoids the per-element equality scan, and is semantically equivalent.
+The structural logic and recursion pattern are unchanged.

+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity in LinearSum::add(MDefinition*, int32_t).
+terms_ is a Vector<LinearTerm, 2, JitAllocPolicy> searched with a linear

+(recursive, depth ~100) from TryEliminateBoundsCheck(), which is invoked for
+every instruction in EliminateRedundantChecks()'s CFG walk.  At T distinct
+terms and N add() calls, building one LinearSum costs O(N*T) comparisons.
+
+Replace terms_ with HashMap<MDefinition*, int32_t, DefaultHasher<MDefinition*>,
+JitAllocPolicy> (termId -> scale).  add() uses lookupOrAdd() for O(1) amortised
+combined lookup and insert.  The dump() and term(i) accessors require iteration
+over the map; a companion Vector<MDefinition*> insertion-ordered key list
+(termKeys_) is maintained to preserve stable iteration order for dump(),
+ConvertLinearSum(), and multiply()/divide().  The extra bookkeeping is bounded
+by T (small in practice, typically 2-6 terms) and does not affect the O(1)
+hot-path.
+
+Note on multiply() and divide(): these iterate termKeys_ and update map values
+in-place — still O(T), same as before.

+Subject: [PATCH] dag/tarjan: replace inStack linear scan with onStack map
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(V) linear stack scan per call to
+inStack() inside stronglyConnected().  inStack() iterated s.Stack []Vertex
+looking for needle — O(stack-depth) per call.  stronglyConnected() calls
+inStack once per outgoing edge, yielding O(V×E) total comparisons for a
+dense graph.
+
+Add onStack map[Vertex]bool to sccAcct.  Set onStack[v] = true on push,
+delete(onStack, v) on pop.  Replace inStack(s.Stack, w) with s.onStack[w]
+for O(1) amortised map lookup per call.
+
+The standalone inStack() helper function is removed; the check is now
+expressed directly as s.onStack[target] in the one call site.

+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(E) full-edge scan in EdgesTo().
+EdgesTo() iterates g.Edges() (all edges) and filters by target hashcode —
+O(E) per call.  transform_destroy_cbd.go calls EdgesTo inside a
+for-range over g.Vertices(), producing O(V×E) total comparisons.
+
+The graph already maintains g.upEdges[hashcode(v)] — a Set of source
+vertices for every target v, updated incrementally by Connect() and
+RemoveEdge().  Rewrite EdgesTo to iterate upEdgesNoCopy(v) instead:
+one hash lookup to get the source set, then one BasicEdge construction
+per source.  Cost is O(in-degree(v)) per call — O(sum of in-degrees) =
+O(E) total across all vertices, vs O(V×E) before.
+
+The returned []Edge slice has identical semantics; callers are unaffected.

+Subject: [PATCH] compiler/backend: replace spilled_consts ZoneVector with ZoneUnorderedSet
+
+CWE-407: Algorithmic complexity via O(k^2) linear scan deduplication in
+MeetConstraintsBefore().  spilled_consts was a ZoneVector used only for
+membership testing inside an O(inputs) outer loop, producing O(k^2) total
+pointer comparisons per instruction when k constant-spill inputs exist.
+
+Replace with ZoneUnorderedSet<TopLevelLiveRange*> for O(1) amortised
+membership test and insertion.  The constant-spill path is already noted
+as "very rare" in the source comment; in pathological cases (e.g., a
+function with many identical constant-input SSA values) this can still
+materialise as a measurable hot-path.
+
+ZoneUnorderedSet is provided by src/zone/zone-containers.h, already
+reachable via register-allocator.h.
+
+Defect-Id: V8-001
+Severity: MEDIUM-HIGH
+CWE: CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
