How to fix?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webflux to version 6.0.0 or higher.

Overview

org.springframework:spring-webflux is a Spring Framework module that contains support for reactive HTTP and WebSocket clients as well as for reactive server web applications including REST, HTML browser, and WebSocket style interactions.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via request handling in the Kotlin Router DSL. An attacker can bypass security controls implemented through request-wrapping filters because modifications made to a ServerRequest by a filter are silently discarded before reaching downstream handlers. As a result, handlers receive the original unmodified request, causing security-related request enrichment, validation, or authorization logic to be ineffective.

Note: This is only exploitable if the application uses Spring WebFlux, the Kotlin Router DSL, and security-sensitive filters that pass a modified or wrapped ServerRequest to subsequent handlers.
