Solution:-

The issue comes when requests contain unencoded "=" characters. Endeca OOTB does not generate any URL that contains "=" character as part of value in but this could come from cross site forgery or third party.

NavigationStateBuilder gets fails and gives NullPointerException if  "=" sign in query parameter va;ue

Example :- http://localhost:8080/crs/browse/Women-Pants/_/N-16ey25s?Test=test=1

This issue can be fixed if "=" signs are encoded as part of query parameter value.

so URL should be like :
http://localhost:8080/crs/browse/Women-Pants/_/N-16ey25s?Test=test%3D1

http://localhost:8080/crs/storeus/browse/Men/_/N-tj6o6j does not pass category id to Endeca. N-tj6o6j , where "tj6o6j" is the encoded N-value. Endeca has feature to store properties inside the dimension value. OOTB CRS stores categoryid, siteid and few other properties get stored as part of dimension values.
Example :- {DisplayOrder=0, SourceId=6, category.ancestorCatalogIds=mastercatalog, category.catalogs.repositoryId=mastercatalog, category.repositoryId=6, category.rootCatalogId=mastercatalog, category.siteId=home,crsHome, DGraph.Bins=20}

ATG Manages a cache to map dimension value with category id under /atg/commerce/endeca/cache/DimensionValueCacheTools components. use printCacheMap to print the complete map.

I hope this helps.
