Root Cause Analysis
The GitHub issue #1059 explicitly identifies the deletePool method in ThreadPoolController as having missing authentication checks. The vulnerability allows privilege escalation by letting low-privileged users execute destructive operations (thread pool deletion) through an unprotected endpoint. The CWE-269 mapping confirms this is an improper privilege management issue where access controls are missing on a sensitive operation.
