Description
Default web security in certain configurations is ineffective, allowing unauthorized and unauthenticated access to all endpoints. This occurs when a servlet-based web application relies on the default web security filter chain without its own Spring Security configuration, depends on
spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure, and does not depend on spring-boot-health.Recommendations
Upgrade versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.5 to 4.0.6 or later.
