Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability description indicates improper URL validation in SEO analysis features. SSRF typically occurs when user-controlled URLs are fetched without proper restrictions. The extension's URL analysis functionality would logically involve a URL fetching method, and the patch (7.2.1) likely added domain validation here. The TYPO3 advisory specifically mentions the failure to restrict analyzed URLs to managed domains, strongly suggesting the URL fetching function was vulnerable.
