Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the SessionController's session method handling user-controlled input (clientId) without proper escaping. The commit diff shows the fix introduced an escape() method using JsonUtils.writeValueAsString to sanitize inputs before adding them to the model. The original vulnerable version (prior to 3.20.2) lacked this escaping, allowing XSS when these parameters were rendered in the session.html template. The template changes from '[[${clientId}]]' to [[${clientId}]] (without quotes) combined with proper escaping in the controller confirm the vulnerability was in the Java method's output handling.
