    Description

      If doAs() catches a PrivilegedActionException it extracts the underlying cause through getCause and then re-throws an exception based on the class of the Cause. If getCause returns null, this is how it gets re-thrown:

      else

      { throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(cause); }

      If cause == null that seems misleading. I have seen actual instances where cause is null, so this isn't just a theoretical concern.
