Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability description explicitly identifies improper case handling in JSP extensions as the root cause. While no specific code is provided, Jetty's resource handling mechanism (like ResourceHandler) would be responsible for validating file extensions and routing requests. The failure to normalize case before checking if a file should be processed as JSP
(vs served as static content) matches the described attack vector. This pattern aligns with CWE-20
(input validation) and matches historical case-sensitivity vulnerabilities in web servers.
