Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from missing permission checks in the configuration export endpoint. The Jenkins security advisory explicitly identifies ConfigurationAsCode.java as the vulnerable component and describes the lack of authorization in the export method. The doExport method (or equivalent entry point for the export URL) would be the direct handler for this functionality. The fix in 0.8-alpha would have added a permission check like Jenkins.ADMINISTER or similar, but prior versions would execute this method with only Overall/Read access. This matches the CWE-200 pattern of unauthorized data exposure through missing access controls.
