Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from multiple view functions that directly interpolated user-controlled database values (run_id, label, pool) into HTML templates without proper escaping. The commit diff shows the addition of escape() calls to these values, confirming they were vulnerable to XSS. The test case added in test_views.py with <script> tags demonstrates the exploit scenario. All identified functions handle metadata database values that admins could manipulate, making them clear XSS vectors.
