Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper lifetime management in HTTP message processing. Key indicators:

  1. The advisory specifically mentions 'unsoundly extending string lifetimes' as a root cause
  2. Memory corruption patterns align with request/response handling functions
  3. Server components like HttpResponseBuilder and Payload are core to data flow
  4. The 'body' method and payload reading are natural points for buffer lifetime management
  5. Patch version 0.7.15 required significant refactoring of these low-level components While exact pre-patch code isn't available, these functions represent critical unsafe data handling points consistent with the described vulnerability pattern.
