Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from insufficient validation in the order_by() handling. The commit diff shows the fix added a regex pattern (ORDER_PATTERN) to validate column references in django/db/models/sql/constants.py and modified add_ordering in query.py to use this check. Prior to the patch, the code only checked for '.' presence in the input string, allowing attackers to inject SQL via malformed order_by parameters. The direct modification of add_ordering in the security patch confirms this function's role in the vulnerability.
