Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from processing class-level @RequestMapping annotations on Feign client interfaces. The key vulnerable functions are:

  1. processAnnotationOnClass: Directly handled class-level path mapping through the removed path prepending logic
  2. parseAndValidateMetadata: Indirectly enabled exposure through class-level header/produces/consumes inheritance Both were modified in the patch to reject class-level annotations and remove inheritance behavior. These functions would appear in stack traces when Spring processes Feign client interfaces with type-level @RequestMapping annotations, as they're responsible for translating annotations into HTTP endpoint mappings.
