Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation in the whereFileName method, which handles filename inputs. The patched commit adds a validateFileName() call to this method, indicating it was previously missing critical path traversal checks. This allowed unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the filename parameter to access restricted files via directory traversal. The direct correlation between the vulnerability description (path traversal) and the patched function's added validation confirms this as the primary vulnerable function.
