    Description

      If the REST endpoint consumes POST requests with invalid data, check that response with error message is trimmed to reasonable size.

      Initial motivation for this was that when invalid data are very big and error messages are logged, server could be attacked by filling disk with logs.
      See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP-6316.

      However, error messages are no longer printed to server.log - probably because of this: https://github.com/resteasy/Resteasy/pull/1485/files#diff-382f0c06d12f9f68e087b45142ad2564R17.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JBEAP-6316 Error log messages from parsing exceptions should be trimmed to reasonable size

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
