Access Control Bypass

org.springframework.security:spring-security-config is a security configuration package for Spring Framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass. When using ** as a pattern in Spring Security configuration for WebFlux a mismatch in pattern matching is created between Spring Security and Spring WebFlux, resulting in a security bypass.
