Spring Security permits every request that is not matched by an earlier rule (anyRequest().permitAll(), authorize(anyRequest, permitAll) or web.ignoring() on /**).
Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: INFO
How to fix it
Deny by default (authorize(anyRequest, authenticated) or denyAll) and list public endpoints explicitly, so new endpoints are protected unless opened on purpose.
