Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

  1. The CVE description explicitly mentions remove() has an off-by-one error. The commit diff shows the vulnerable line 'last_elem_ptr = self.mem.offset(self.len as isize)' was changed to '(self.len - 1)', confirming the off-by-one.
  2. Issue #2 and advisory descriptions mention index() allowing OOB reads. The commit added 'assert!(index < self.len)' to index(), proving prior lack of bounds checking.
  3. Both functions are in src/lib.rs as shown in the diff, with clear vulnerability patterns matching CWE-193 (Off-by-one) and CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds read).
