Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description explicitly names the twikidraw and anywikidraw actions as the source of the path traversal. The linked fix (http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/rev/7e7e1cbb9d3f) shows modifications to the 'save' methods in both files, introducing taintfilename() to sanitize user-controlled filenames. This confirms the original methods were vulnerable to path traversal due to insufficient input validation.
