Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from exposing the ServletContext to users with SCRIPT rights via the $request binding. The XWikiServletRequestStub class likely provides access to the ServletContext through getServletContext(), which would be dangerous if accessible in scripts. The XWikiScriptContextManager's role in binding the request object to the scripting context makes it a key enabler of this exposure. These functions together allow attackers to reach Java reflection capabilities through the ServletContext, aligning with the described injection and code execution vectors (CWE-74/CWE-94).
