Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description explicitly identifies getImage() in ImageProcessor as the entry point. The GitHub issue #949 confirms the vulnerable pattern: passing user-controlled src attributes to fopen() (L215 in ImageProcessor.php). PHAR deserialization occurs automatically when accessing files via phar:// wrapper, making this a direct vector for CWE-502. The attack vector requires exactly this function to process malicious img tags, and the patch likely adds protocol validation before file operations.
