Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability occurs in the play method where user-supplied filename (@file) is directly embedded into a system() call using string interpolation. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters. The PoC demonstrates command execution by including ';' in the filename. The system call uses a single string argument which invokes shell interpretation, making it vulnerable to injection. The code structure matches classic command injection patterns (CWE-94).
