I’ve had the same supper for 10 years
I like the word describing this tendency:
apophenia : the tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things (such as objects or ideas)
I learned the word on account of http://apophenia.info which is open source software used for the book "Modeling With Data" by Ben Klemens. His "21st Century C" is more commonly encountered.

CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome)
So the real issue here is that the lack of tree validation before the tree construction, I believe. I'm surprised that this check was not yet implemented (I actually checked libwebp to make sure that I was missing one). Given this blind spot, an automated test based on the domain knowledge is likely useless to catch this bug.

Notes: Advanced Node.js Concepts by Stephen Grider
In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.
