Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability occurs because X509CredentialsAuthenticationHandler's validate method delegates CRL checks to a revocation checker that fetches URLs from untrusted certificate extensions. When LDAP credentials are configured, the same credentials are reused for CRL fetching from arbitrary LDAP URLs. The code shows direct invocation of revocationChecker.check(cert) without URL validation, and the advisory explicitly mentions this flow as the leak vector.
