- 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) (CVE-2022-31692)
