JSON Serialization Causes Infinite Loop in Error Handler

Description

When an error occurs with the S3 ResourceProvider (specifically with invalid AWS credentials), the error handler (error.cfm) attempts to serialize the error using luceeCatchToString. This causes the JSON converter to enter an infinite loop due to circular references in the error object.

The thread hangs in the JSONConverter._serialize methods, with multiple recursive calls visible in the stack trace. This causes the Express server to hang and become unresponsive.

Stack Trace

Error Message

lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records.;error-code:InvalidAccessKeyId;AWSAccessKeyId:1;Erro

Additional Information

  • The issue is reproducible across multiple versions (7.0.146, 7.0.148)

  • Deleting the lucee-server directory before testing does not resolve the issue

  • Root cause appears to be the luceeCatchToString function creating circular references during JSON serialization

  • The error template is attempting to call another error template, creating a cascade of errors ("error calling the error template")

Environment

can you confirm the issue is fixed, a test case would be even better
