Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper output encoding when rendering the tooltip text in the Members Add page. The tooltip payload is injected via the CMS Field Add page and stored. When the tooltip is displayed in the Members Add page, the lack of escaping (e.g., missing Smarty |escape:'html' modifier or PHP htmlspecialchars()) allows arbitrary script execution. While the exact PHP function names are unclear without code access, the root cause is the unescaped rendering in the template layer, which is a common XSS vector in templating systems like Smarty.
