Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The core vulnerability exists in the parseUrl function's handling of URLs. Before the patch:
- No input length validation allowed excessively long URLs that could bypass checks
- The 'file' protocol check and subsequent Git SSH regex matching created a path for internal resource access
- Lack of proper error handling for failed parses (now indicated by parsed.parse_failed) let invalid URLs proceed
- Missing throw mechanism for non-Git URLs in the 'file' protocol path enabled SSRF
The patch added length checks, parse_failed tracking, and strict error throwing - all indicators these were the missing security controls in the original function.
