### Reachability Analysis This vulnerability is potentially reachable ``` org.owasp.webgoat.container.WebSecurityConfig (Application) -> org.owasp.webgoat.container.users.UserService (Extension) -> org.flywaydb.core.Flyway (Extension) -> org.springframework.boot.web.embedded.jetty.JasperInitializer$WarURLConnection (Extension) ... -> org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext (Extension) -> org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler (Extension) -> ❌ org.springframework.security.web.access.intercept.AuthorizationFilter (Vulnerable Component) ```

### Vulnerability Details

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)

Found in base branch: main

### Vulnerability Details

In Spring Security, versions 5.7.x prior to 5.7.8, versions 5.8.x prior to 5.8.3, and versions 6.0.x prior to 6.0.3, the logout support does not properly clean the security context if using serialized versions. Additionally, it is not possible to explicitly save an empty security context to the HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository. This vulnerability can keep users authenticated even after they performed logout. Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation. 5.7.x users should upgrade to 5.7.8. 5.8.x users should upgrade to 5.8.3. 6.0.x users should upgrade to 6.0.3.
