Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from Spring Security configurations allowing unauthenticated access to /oaipmh endpoints. While no Java code changes were shown in the provided patches, the OaiPmhServlet (or equivalent request handler) would be the entry point processing these requests. The security configuration change from ROLE_ANONYMOUS to ROLE_ADMIN in mh_default_org.xml indicates that the corresponding request handler was previously executable without authentication, making it the vulnerable component observable in runtime profiles when exploited.
