Spring Security permits every request that is not matched by an earlier rule (anyRequest().permitAll()).

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: INFO

How to fix it

Deny by default (anyRequest().authenticated() or denyAll()) and list public endpoints explicitly, so new endpoints are protected unless opened on purpose.
