Cascade Disabled Middleware - Security Filter Broken
Security middleware is not executing after Cascade refactored the filter chain configuration. CORS is broken, authentication is bypassed, or request logging is missing. This is a critical security issue where unauthenticated requests are being accepted.
Cascade likely modified WebSecurityConfig or filter registration without understanding the importance of middleware order.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Cascade removed @EnableWebSecurity or filter chain configuration
- Filter order changed, running authentication after authorization check
- Cascade added permitAll() to endpoints that should require authentication
- CORS configuration removed or disabled
How to Fix It
Review WebSecurityConfig for security filter chain configuration. Verify filter order: CORS → Authentication → Authorization → other filters. Check .permitAll() only applies to public endpoints (/login, /signup, /health). Re-enable disabled middleware. Test with unauthenticated requests to ensure rejection.

I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

What's the correct filter chain order?
CORS → Authentication → Authorization. Security filters run in order defined in SecurityConfiguration.
How do I test if auth is working?
Try accessing protected endpoints without authentication header. Should get 401 Unauthorized.
