Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the REST server's failure to propagate authenticated user credentials through the processing chain. The AuthenticationFilter.doFilter
method is the primary suspect as it's responsible for establishing security context. The ResourceContainer.service
method would manifest in profilers as it's where unauthorized operations would be executed with server privileges. These functions would appear in stack traces when handling REST API requests with improper authorization checks.
