Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from MercurialStatus.java inheriting from AbstractModelObject which provided the getSearchUrl method. This created an unprotected /mercurial/search endpoint that bypassed authorization checks. The commit 54b4f82 removed the AbstractModelObject inheritance and the getSearchUrl method, confirming this was the vulnerable entry point. The inherited search functionality allowed attackers to enumerate sensitive information through the unintended endpoint.
