CVE-2023-34034 is an access control bypass vulnerability in Spring Security for WebFlux applications. When "**" is used as a pattern in Spring Security configuration, a mismatch can occur between how Spring Security evaluates the pattern and how Spring WebFlux resolves request paths. This discrepancy can cause authorization rules to be applied differently than intended, allowing requests that should have been restricted to match a less restrictive rule path and bypass security enforcement. The issue affects applications that rely on vulnerable Spring Security WebFlux pattern handling for authorization decisions.
