### Reachability Analysis This vulnerability is potentially reachable ``` org.owasp.webgoat.container.WebSecurityConfig (Application) -> org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity (Extension) -> org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configurers.AuthorizeHttpRequestsConfigurer$AuthorizationManagerRequestMatcherRegistry (Extension) -> org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configurers.AuthorizeHttpRequestsConfigurer$AuthorizedUrl (Extension) -> org.springframework.security.authorization.AuthenticatedAuthorizationManager (Extension) -> ❌ org.springframework.security.authorization.AuthenticatedAuthorizationManager$FullyAuthenticatedAuthorizationStrategy (Vulnerable Component) ```

### Vulnerability Details

In Spring Security, versions 6.1.x prior to 6.1.7 and versions 6.2.x prior to 6.2.2, an application is vulnerable to broken access control when it directly uses the AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated(Authentication) method. Specifically, an application is vulnerable if: * The application uses AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated(Authentication) directly and a null authentication parameter is passed to it resulting in an erroneous true return value. An application is not vulnerable if any of the following is true: * The application does not use AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated(Authentication) directly. * The application does not pass null to AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated * The application only uses isFullyAuthenticated via Method Security https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/servlet/authorization/method-security.html  or HTTP Request Security https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/servlet/authorization/authorize-http-requests.html
