Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from CXFServlet's request handling logic when both static-resources-list and redirect-query-check are enabled. The handleRequest() method is central to processing HTTP requests and would be responsible for applying these configurations. The combination of these attributes likely bypasses security checks (CWE-20) that normally prevent unauthorized resource access, leading to information exposure (CWE-200). While exact code isn't provided, the CXFServlet's request handling is the logical point where misconfiguration would manifest, aligning with the vulnerability description.
