Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper validation of redirect URLs in the authentication flow. The GitHub issue (#5343) explicitly mentions the 'next' parameter being used for redirects to /browser after login. In Flask-based applications like pgAdmin, the common pattern for login redirects uses request.args.get('next') without proper validation. The login handler function would be responsible for processing this parameter and redirecting users, making it the likely vulnerable component. The CWE-601 classification and vulnerability description both align with unvalidated redirects in authentication flows.
