Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the check() method in Auth.php where user data containing the 'twofa' secret was directly passed to JWT token creation. The pre-patch code shows the 'twofa' => $this->helper('jwt')->create($user) line, which embedded sensitive 2FA data in the token. The commit fixes this by explicitly constructing a limited payload (excluding 'twofa') for the JWT token. This function is clearly responsible for the sensitive data exposure as it handled the 2FA-enabled login flow and token generation.
