Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from the settings import functionality. The pre-patch version in SImExporter.php lacked the Form::processForm() validation layer, which the patch added to ensure the same security checks as regular admin settings updates. The original code directly wrote base64-decoded image data to files without proper mime-type/extension validation, and applied settings without input filtering, creating an injection vector. The commit message explicitly states the fix was to 'apply the same validations' via Form::processForm(), confirming the vulnerability was in the import handling logic.
