Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from insufficient output encoding when rendering the group type name. The patch introduced getDisplayName() (which applies the h() escaping function) and replaced direct calls to getName() in these two methods. The original getName() method itself is a simple getter and not inherently vulnerable, but its unescaped usage in getSelectList() and getType() created the XSS vector. The high confidence comes from the direct correlation between the patched locations and the vulnerability description.
