HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) is a security mechanism which allows HTTPS websites
to resist impersonation by attackers using mis-issued or otherwise fraudulent certificates.
(For example, sometimes attackers can compromise certificate authorities,
and then can mis-issue certificates for a web origin.)
The HTTPS web server serves a list of public key hashes, and on subsequent connections
clients expect that server to use 1 or more of those public keys in its certificate chain.
This commit will add this new functionality.
Fixes gh-3706
Modifying the SecurityContext on the same Thread can cause issues. For example, with a
RejectedExecutionHandler the SecurityContext may be cleared out on the original Thread.
This change modifies both the DelegatingSecurityContextRunnable and DelegatingSecurityContextCallable to,
by default, only modify the SecurityContext if they are invoked on a new Thread. The behavior can be changed
by setting the property enableOnOrigionalThread to true.
Previously SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestWrapper always prefixed with
rolePrefix. This meant the defaults would never return true for a role
that started with the prefix (i.e. ROLE_).
We no longer apply the rolePrefix if the value passed in already starts
with rolePrefix.
This ensures that Spring Session & Security's logic for performing
a save on the response being committed can easily be kept in synch.
Further this ensures that the SecurityContext is now persisted when
the response body meets the content length.
Previously DefaultLoginPageGeneratingFilter would match on /**/login
which was not ideal since other parts of the application may want to
match on the URL.
Now it matches on /login.
Previously, if the Principal returned by getPreAuthenticatedPrincipal was not a String,
it prevented requiresAuthentication from detecting when the Principal was the same.
This caused the need to authenticate the user for every request even when the Principal
did not change.
Now requiresAuthentication will check to see if the result of
getPreAuthenticatedPrincipal is equal to the current Authentication.getPrincipal().
Add the DelegatingAuthenticationFailureHandler class to support
map each exception to AuthenticationFailureHandler. This class gives
more powerful options to customize default behavior for users.
Previously SavedRequestAwareWrapper overrode the getCookies() method. This
meant that the cookies from the original request were used instead of the
new request. In general, this does not make sense since cookies are
automatically submitted in every request by a client. Additionally, this
caused problems with using a locale cookie that was specified after the
secured page was requested.
Now SavedRequestAwareWrapper uses the new incoming request for determining
the cookies.
In order to get better error messages (avoid NullPointerException) the
HttpSessionEventPublisher now gets the required ApplicationContext which
throws an IllegalStateException with a good error message.
Striping off all leading schemes in the DefaultRedirectStrategy, so it
will be less vulnerable to open redirect phishing attacks. More info can
be found at SEC-2177 JIRA issue.
