Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability centers on improper authorization (CWE-285) in Magento's admin interfaces. While no patch details are available, historical Magento authorization flaws often involve:
- Missing _isAllowed() methods in admin controllers
- Incomplete ACL checks in widget/UI component rendering
- Web API endpoints with misconfigured resource-based permissions
These two functions represent common patterns:
- Preview controllers often handle sensitive data and require strict role validation
- Widget choosers are frequently targeted for privilege escalation due to their UI integration
Confidence is medium due to the lack of direct commit evidence, but the pattern matches Magento's typical authorization flaw locations and the advisory's 'security feature bypass' description.
