Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from the contents function in admin/helpers.py handling non-field readonly attributes. The commit diff shows the fix added autoescape=True to linebreaksbr() calls. This confirms the original function lacked proper escaping for properties, making it the direct source of XSS vulnerability when rendering untrusted content.
