Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper path resolution in the request handling logic. Though exact code isn't available, the advisory explicitly states the server resolves relative paths without validation. In Node.js static servers, this typically occurs in the core request handler that maps URLs to filesystem paths. The lack of normalization/sanitization before passing to path resolution functions (like path.join()) would directly enable traversal. The high confidence comes from the vulnerability pattern matching classic path traversal flaws in simple static servers.
