CVE-2023-22602: Apache Shiro

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

When using Apache Shiro before 1.11.0 together with Spring Boot 2.6+, a specially crafted HTTP request may cause an authentication bypass. The authentication bypass occurs when Shiro and Spring Boot are using different pattern-matching techniques. Both Shiro and Spring Boot < 2.6 default to Ant style pattern matching. Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.11.0, or set the following Spring Boot configuration value: `spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy = ant_path_matcher`

Affected products

• Apache Shiro: before 1.11.0 (fixed in 1.11.0)
• VMware Spring Boot: version 2.6.0 only
