Spring Security annotation detection mechanism has authorization bypass
Quick fix
GHSA-8v5q-rhf3-jphm — org.springframework.security:spring-security-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>6.4.10</version> for org.springframework.security:spring-security-coreDetails
The Spring Security annotation detection mechanism may not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies with a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. This can be an issue when using @PreAuthorize and other method security annotations, resulting in an authorization bypass.
Your application may be affected by this if you are using Spring Security's @EnableMethodSecurity feature.
You are not affected by this if you are not using @EnableMethodSecurity or if you do not use security annotations on methods in generic superclasses or generic interfaces.
This CVE is published in conjunction with CVE-2025-41249 https://spring.io/security/cve-2025-41249 .
