What is CVE-2024-22234?

In versions 6.1.x prior to 6.1.7 and 6.2.x prior to 6.2.2, Spring Security is affected by a vulnerability that arises from improper use of the AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated(Authentication) method. When applications directly invoke this method with a null authentication parameter, it incorrectly returns a true value, creating a potential break in access control. Applications are safe if they do not use this method directly, ensure null is not passed, or rely solely on Method and HTTP Request Security. Organizations using affected versions should assess their implementation of Spring Security to verify risk exposure and implement necessary remediation measures.
