Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The GitHub issue comment explicitly references the render function in AjaxThymeleafView.java as the injection point. This aligns with the CWE-94 pattern where unvalidated user input flows into template resolution. The function's role in handling dynamic template names makes it a logical vector for expression injection attacks. The direct reference in the vulnerability report and consistency with Thymeleaf's template processing mechanics support high confidence.
