Improper authorization control for web services In org.springframework.security:spring-security-config

Description

Spring Security Doesn't Correctly Include Servlet Path in Path Matching of XML Authorization Rules Vulnerability in Spring Spring Security.

This can lead to an authorization bypass. This issue affects Spring Security: from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.
