Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from improper authentication handling in the SnapshotPublicModeOrSignedIn middleware. The patch shows:

  1. Removal of error-prone middleware chaining (c.Invoke(ReqSignedIn))
  2. Direct check of c.IsSignedIn instead of relying on middleware side effects
  3. Added test cases in auth_test.go that verify 401 responses when unauthenticated
  4. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication) directly maps to this authentication bypass scenario
  5. The function controls access to snapshot creation API endpoints mentioned in advisory descriptions
  6. Commit message explicitly states 'Disallow anonymous user to create snapshots' as the fix
