In Apache Shiro before version 1.9.1, the RegexRequestMatcher component can be misconfigured such that, when using RegExPatternMatcher with a . in the regular expression, it may be bypassed on certain servlet containers. This can result in improper authorization checks, allowing unauthorized access to protected resources.

This repository is a minimal proof-of-concept (POC) environment for demonstrating CVE-2022-32532, an authentication bypass vulnerability in Apache Shiro versions prior to 1.9.1. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of regular expressions in the RegExPatternMatcher, allowing attackers to bypass authentication by inserting newline (%0a) or carriage return (%0d) characters in the URL path. The repository is structured as a Spring Boot web application using shiro-spring 1.6.0, with custom filter and filter factory classes to demonstrate the vulnerable and patched behaviors. The main entry point is ShiroCve202232532Application.java, and the vulnerable endpoint is /permit/{value}. The README provides detailed reproduction steps and mitigation guidance. No weaponized payload is included; the POC demonstrates the bypass via crafted HTTP requests.
