Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from an improper array type check in the bailout decision logic. The patch changes the condition from checking 'IsAnyArray() && GetObjectType() != ObjectWithArray' to 'IsArray()', indicating the original check was insufficient. This function determines whether to bail out during JIT optimization when array structures might change, and the flawed check could allow dangerous optimizations leading to out-of-bounds writes.
