    Description

      There is missing null check in io.undertow.security.impl.SecurityContextImpl.ChallengeSender.transition() method. Method mechanism.sendChallenge can return null (interface AuthenticationMechanism can have various implementations) which leads to NPE for calling some method on its result without null check. See [1].

      There should be null checker in SecurityContextImpl.ChallengeSender.transition() method or documentation of io.undertow.security.api.AuthenticationMechanism.sendChallenge should explicitly say that this method must not return null.
