Machine-written summary

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

Spring Security (spring-security-core) versions 6.1.0 through 6.1.6 and 6.2.0 through 6.2.1 are affected. An application that calls AuthenticationTrustResolver.isFullyAuthenticated(Authentication) directly and passes it a null authentication can receive a true result in error, which leads to broken access control. Applications that do not call this method directly, or that use it only through method security or HTTP request security, are not affected. Upgrade to spring-security-core 6.1.7 or 6.2.2.
