This issue arises in various versions prior to 1.1.3, 1.2.2, 1.3.1, and the 1.4.0-dev version, where the absence of a request path causes the parser to fail, potentially crashing the Mesos master. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to inoperability of the Mesos-controlled cluster, severely impacting service availability.
