Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper URL scheme validation in Markdown link rendering. While the plugin disables raw HTML to prevent XSS, it doesn't filter 'javascript:' URIs in link href attributes. This indicates the function responsible for parsing/rendering Markdown links (likely using PegDown's LinkRenderer or similar component) lacks protocol whitelisting. The high confidence comes from the advisory explicitly stating the root cause is missing 'javascript:' scheme blocking in link URLs, a classic XSS vector when URI scheme validation is absent.
