Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the '/i18n/:locale/:phrase' route being registered in production. The commit diff shows this route registration was gated behind a development environment check in the fix. The translate handler (i18nRoutes.translate) attached to this route: 1) Accepts arbitrary user input via :phrase parameter without proper sanitization (CWE-74), enabling XSS 2) Provides an unauthenticated endpoint that could be flooded for DoS (CWE-400). The combination of route exposure in production and lack of input validation/sanitization in the handler makes this function vulnerable.
