Spring Security vulnerable to Authorization Bypass
Spring Security versions 5.1.x prior to 5.1.2 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability during JWT issuer validation.

In that case, a malicious user could fashion signed JWTs with the malicious issuer URL that may be granted for the honest issuer.
