Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from missing CSRF protection on critical endpoints. The commits 37e0384, cded616, and f3d8a9e show that CSRF was explicitly enabled for /oauth/authorize and /profile POST endpoints in login-ui.xml. Prior to the fix, the Spring Security configuration in this file had CSRF disabled (csrf disabled="true") or improperly scoped, leaving these endpoints vulnerable. The addition of CSRF token checks and updated request matchers in the XML configuration directly addresses the CSRF flaw described in CVE-2016-6637.
