Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from insecure XML parsing of Liquibase changesets. The advisory explicitly states the XML parser wasn't configured to prevent XXE attacks, which typically occurs when using DocumentBuilder/SAXParser without disabling external entities. The fixed version (1.4.7) removed changeset parsing entirely, confirming the vulnerability resided in this functionality. While exact code isn't available, the pattern matches standard XXE vulnerability patterns in Java XML processing.
