Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from two key issues: 1) Validate::isOrderBy's permissive regex allowed SQL control characters in orderBy parameters. 2) Filters class methods (getOrderBy/getOrderWay) passed user-controlled parameters directly to SQL queries without adequate validation. The commit fixed these by introducing a stricter regex (ORDER_BY_REGEXP) and adding validation checks in Filters methods. The combination of weak input validation and direct usage in SQL query construction created the SQL injection vector.
