Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from two key issues: 1) Incomplete validation of DigestInfo's ASN.1 structure in RSA verification, and 2) Lenient DER parsing that allowed unprocessed bytes. The verify() function in rsa.js directly used asn1.fromDer without structural validation of DigestInfo, while asn1.fromDer's previous behavior allowed trailing bytes. The commit introduced digestInfoValidator and strict byte parsing to address these, confirming these functions were vulnerable pre-patch.
