Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from error logging that captures sensitive data in HttpServerExchange
. The CVE description directly identifies Connectors.executeRootHandler
line 402 as the vulnerable location where UndertowLogger.REQUEST_LOGGER.undertowRequestFailed()
is called with the exchange object. This function would appear in stack traces when logging occurs during error handling scenarios, making it the primary runtime indicator. While the logger method itself (undertowRequestFailed
) is involved, the root cause is the execution context in Connectors.executeRootHandler
that passes sensitive data to the logger.
