Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of formula elements in exported CSVs. The commit cbc49f0 shows the patch adds sanitization logic specifically in CommonController.php's exportResultsAs method when handling CSV output. The pre-patch version did not check for formula-initiating characters in cell data, making this function the injection vector. The direct correlation between the vulnerability description and the patched code confirms this function's role.
