Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in SASL negotiation:

  1. SaslServlet's doPostWithSubjectAndActor allowed creating SASL servers for unsupported mechanisms
  2. OAuth2/Plain negotiators' handleResponse methods lacked state validation and proper empty response handling
  3. The patches add mechanism validation, state machines, and response checks - indicating these were the vulnerable entry points
  4. Runtime exploitation would show these functions in stack traces when processing malicious authentication attempts with empty responses or unsupported mechanisms
