Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The critical vulnerability was patched by adding 'dbf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl", true)' in SLDParserPlugin.java. This indicates the XML parser in tryLoadSLD method previously allowed DTD processing, making it vulnerable to XXE injection via malicious SDL style files. The commit diff clearly shows this security hardening was the primary XXE mitigation.
