Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from regex patterns using '$' (which matches at string end or before a trailing newline) instead of '\Z' (strict end-of-string). This allowed newline characters in validated input. The commit diffs (e.g., 1ba1cdc) explicitly modify these validators' regexes in django/core/validators.py, and the CVE description directly names these four validators as attack vectors. High confidence is justified by the direct correlation between the vulnerability report, patch changes, and affected functions.
