Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the absence of the 'setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false)' call in the SAXParserFactory configuration within toSAXSourceFromStream. The GitHub patch explicitly adds this security measure to disable external entity processing. The CWE-611 mapping and commit message confirming the XXE fix further validate() this as the root cause. The test file modification in XsltDTDTest.java appears to validate() the fix rather than introduce vulnerability.
