Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability manifests in property display rendering as documented in XWIKI-17374. The PropertyDisplayer.display method is the core output mechanism for user-controlled properties. The JIRA ticket explicitly shows the XSS occurs in property display and links to escaping improvements in XMLUtils. While the exact code diff isn't available, the security advisory and JIRA analysis confirm the displayer's escaping was inadequate prior to 12.8.
