Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability documentation explicitly references the set function in field.js line 39 as the source of prototype pollution. The function's recursive property assignment logic (via moveUp helper) fails to validate if target fields are safe to modify, allowing attackers to manipulate proto properties. This matches the CWE-1321 description of prototype pollution through uncontrolled modification of prototype attributes. The provided PoC demonstrates this by modifying Object.prototype through field.set().
