Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Spring Security's spring-security-config package, versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.4, does not include the servlet path when computing path matchers for XML authorization rules that use the servlet-path attribute of intercept-url. As a result, the related authorization rules are not applied, which can lead to an authorization bypass. The source does not describe the attacker's required access. Upgrade to version 7.0.5.
