Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from prototype pollution affecting templateSettings.varname used in doT.template's Function() constructor. The patch fixes the initialization of settings in InstallDots, but the exploit occurs when doT.template uses a polluted varname. The test case demonstrates code execution via prototype pollution, which would trigger during template compilation in doT.template.
