Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from downloading executables over HTTP. While no explicit code is provided, npm packages like phantomjs-prebuilt (which this forks) typically implement binary downloads in an install script (install.js). The fork's continued use of HTTP (rather than HTTPS) in this download mechanism matches the described vulnerability pattern. The high confidence comes from the standard implementation patterns in similar packages and the explicit MITM attack vector described in the advisory.
