Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability centers around insecure HTTP downloads during installation. While exact code changes aren't visible, the advisory indicates resolution by switching to HTTPS. Typical patterns in Node.js dependency management suggest:

  1. A primary download function handling binary retrieval (downloadBinaries)
  2. A lower-level transport function (fetchDependency) These would appear in stack traces during exploitation as they directly handle network requests. Confidence is medium due to inference from vulnerability patterns, though exact function names are estimated based on common implementation practices in npm packages handling binary downloads.
