Descriptions

Spring Framework running version 6.0.0 - 6.0.6 or 5.3.0 - 5.3.25 using "**" as a pattern in Spring Security configuration with the mvcRequestMatcher creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring MVC, and the potential for a security bypass.

A flaw was found in Spring Framework. In this vulnerability, a security bypass is possible due to the behavior of the wildcard pattern.
