Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from missing admin::hasPermissions policies in CTB route configurations. The commit diff shows these handlers in routes.json lacked authorization checks before 3.2.5. Each listed function corresponds to a route handler that was vulnerable due to absent permission validation, as evidenced by the added policies in the patch. The routes.json file modification clearly demonstrates these were the unprotected entry points.
