Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description explicitly states the extend function in utils-extend is vulnerable to prototype pollution. Prototype pollution vulnerabilities typically occur in object-merging functions that fail to restrict modifications to the Object prototype. Multiple authoritative sources (GitHub Advisory, NVD, HackerOne) directly attribute the vulnerability to this function. The lack of input validation for prototype-modifying properties aligns with CWE-471 (MAID) and matches the mechanics of prototype pollution attacks.
