Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from missing input validation on the 'alias' field in Chart.yaml dependencies. The patch adds regex validation (aliasRegexp) in both getAliasDependency() and doProcessRequirementsEnabled() functions. These functions were vulnerable because they processed alias values without checking for special characters, allowing injection attacks. The commit diff shows validation was added directly to these functions, confirming their role in the vulnerability.
