Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability was explicitly fixed by modifying the autolink regex in simple-markdown.js (changed from /^<([^ >]+:/[^ >]+)>/ to /^<([^: >]+:/[^ >]+)>/). The commit message and CWE-1333 classification confirm this was an inefficient regex pattern. The attack vector demonstrates exploitation through the autolink parsing logic, and no other code changes were made in the patching commit.
