Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from using a singleton HttpClient
with a persistent cookie store. The advisory explicitly states this pattern causes cookie sharing between clients. The function responsible for HttpClient
initialization would be where the cookie store is configured. While exact code isn't shown, Hawtio's architecture patterns and Java servlet conventions make ProxyServlet.createHttpClient
the most likely candidate, as it would control proxy client configuration. The fix in 1.5.0 likely replaced this with per-request/client cookie stores.
