Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the insecure download mechanism in scripts/configure.js. The commit diff shows the jrePrefix URL was originally HTTP, and the download function was called with this URL to retrieve the executable. The download function itself handles the network request, and since it used HTTP (without encryption), it allowed MITM attacks. The patch changed the URL to HTTPS, confirming the function's role in the vulnerability.
