Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from two key mechanisms: 1) SslUtils.getSSLContext() defaulted to a trust manager that accepted any certificate when stores weren't explicitly set. 2) The default SSLEngineFactory in AsyncHttpClientConfig propagated this insecure configuration. The patch removed SSLEngineFactory and introduced acceptAnyCertificate to enforce proper validation by default. The LooseTrustManager in SslUtils was the root cause of missing certificate verification.
