Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description explicitly identifies the wysiwyg.py component as the source of the path exposure. The error message leak implies a function handling URL requests in this component fails to properly sanitize error output. The getResource() function is a common pattern in Plone's WYSIWYG implementation for serving resources (e.g., images, scripts). Invalid resource requests would trigger exceptions containing filesystem paths in error messages. This aligns with CWE-200's exposure via error messages, and the component/file path matches the advisory details.
