Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from unsanitized rendering of user-controlled comment content. The patch diff shows:

  1. Removal of 'raw' keyword in ERB templates (which bypasses HTML escaping)
  2. Addition of 'sanitize' helper in comment_helper.rb
  3. Multiple template files previously used <%= raw comment.content %> which directly renders user input as HTML. This pattern matches classic stored XSS vulnerability patterns where untrusted user input is rendered without proper escaping/sanitization.
