Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from insufficient security controls in template processing. The commit patching CVE-2010-5327 introduces PACL enforcement (PACLVelocityTemplate/PACLFreeMarkerTemplate), replaces ObjectConstructor with a secured version, and adds class resolution restrictions. The vulnerable functions are the unpatched versions of these methods, which allowed arbitrary class instantiation and template execution without proper security context. The high confidence comes from direct correlation between the vulnerability description (Velocity template RCE) and the security measures added in the commit.
