Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from unescaped usage of a custom field's name in bug_actiongroup_page.php. The patch added string_attribute() around lang_get_defaulted(), confirming that the original implementation lacked proper output encoding. The lang_get_defaulted() function returns raw user-controlled data (custom field name), which was directly embedded into HTML without sanitization, creating an XSS vector. The file path and function are explicitly referenced in the commit diff and CVE description.
