Spring Authorization Server (org.springframework.security:spring-security-oauth2-authorization-server) versions before 1.1.6 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.2 are affected. Applications using a confidential client with PKCE for the Authorization Code grant are vulnerable to a PKCE downgrade attack, while public clients are not.
