Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

  1. The vulnerability description explicitly references traverser.py as the source
  2. The CWE-400 (resource consumption) and Red Hat's CWE-835 mapping (infinite loop) indicate a traversal logic flaw
  3. The Traverser class is core to Plone's URL resolution mechanism
  4. Admin privileges align with the ability to access traversal endpoints
  5. The 'retrieving information for certain resources' attack vector matches publishTraverse's purpose of resolving URL paths to objects
  6. Infinite loops in traversal typically occur in path resolution methods like publishTraverse when cycle detection fails
