Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper threading in HTTP/2 error handling. Jetty's selector threads (non-blocking I/O threads) were directly writing blocking error responses for invalid requests. Key functions in the HTTP/2 connection/session handling stack (HTTP2ServerConnection and HTTP2Connection) trigger synchronous error writes during failure scenarios. These functions are explicitly tied to the vulnerability's root cause described in advisories: blocking operations on selector threads during error response generation. The confidence is high because the HTTP/2 server implementation's error-handling flow matches the described attack vector.
