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

Unauthorized access to protected resource CORS headers missing Authentication filter not invoked Access denied: authentication required
Unauthorized access to protected resourceCORS headers missingAuthentication filter not invokedAccess denied: authentication required

Common Causes

  1. Cascade removed @EnableWebSecurity or filter chain configuration
  2. Filter order changed, running authentication after authorization check
  3. Cascade added permitAll() to endpoints that should require authentication
  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
