Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description indicates unsafe handling of HTTP redirects similar to CVE-2018-1000007, which involved leaking credentials via redirects. Puppet's HTTP client would have needed a method to handle redirects, and the patched versions (6.25.1/7.12.1) likely added host validation and header stripping in this redirect handling logic. The function name and path are inferred from Puppet's code structure and Ruby HTTP client patterns, though exact implementation details are unavailable.
