Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from missing parent table authorization checks during partition operations. The mitigation adds ParentTableAuthorizationHook to the semantic analyzer, indicating authorization was previously not enforced at this stage. The core vulnerability exists in semantic analysis methods processing partition-level DDL/DML operations (like analyzeInternal and analyzeAlterTable) that lacked parent privilege verification. These functions would appear in stack traces when unauthorized partition operations are processed.
