Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from Bootstrap's JavaScript components insecurely handling the data-target attribute. Analysis of the GitHub pull requests (#23679, #23687, #26460) shows fixes focused on replacing direct jQuery HTML parsing with document.querySelector() and selector validation. Affected components (Carousel, Collapse, Modal, Tab) all processed user-controlled data-target values without proper sanitization, allowing injection of malicious HTML elements containing event handlers. The high confidence comes from explicit security patches in these files and vulnerability reproduction examples demonstrating XSS via data-target attributes.
