Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The advisory describes 'coffe-script' as embedded malware that exfiltrates sensitive data, but no source code, commit diffs, or specific function names are provided in the vulnerability disclosures. While the malicious behavior (e.g., reading SSH keys and bash history, sending data to attackers) implies functions related to file I/O and network communication, the lack of concrete code examples or technical details makes it impossible to identify specific functions with high confidence. The package has been unpublished, and no patch or code analysis is available to verify implementation details.
