CVE-2022-31692
In short
Spring Security fails to protect requests that are forwarded or included within the application, allowing an attacker to bypass authorization rules and access restricted endpoints by manipulating how requests are routed internally.
Technical detail
An authorization bypass vulnerability exists in Spring Security's AuthorizationFilter when configured to process forward and include dispatcher types. An authenticated or unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by forwarding/including a request to a higher-privilege endpoint, circumventing the security rules defined in authorizeHttpRequests(). This requires specific dispatcher type configuration and affects versions 5.7.x before 5.7.5 and 5.6.x before 5.6.9.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
Spring Security, versions 5.7 prior to 5.7.5 and 5.6 prior to 5.6.9 could be susceptible to authorization rules bypass via forward or include dispatcher types. Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true: The application expects that Spring Security applies security to forward and include dispatcher types. The application uses the AuthorizationFilter either manually or via the authorizeHttpRequests() method. The application configures the FilterChainProxy to apply to forward and/or include requests (e.g. spring.security.filter.dispatcher-types = request, error, async, forward, include). The application may forward or include the request to a higher privilege-secured endpoint.The application configures Spring Security to apply to every dispatcher type via authorizeHttpRequests().shouldFilterAllDispatcherTypes(true)
