Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability documentation explicitly identifies actionNames.action and showConfig.action in the config-browser plugin as entry points. These actions correspond to execute() methods in Struts Action classes. The JIRA ticket WW-4213 confirms the fix involved sanitizing input parameters in the Config Browser plugin, and the CVE describes improper neutralization of the 'namespace' parameter. The functions handling these actions would be responsible for processing the vulnerable parameter and rendering it unsafely in responses.
