We have released Spring Security 4.2.13 to address CVE-2019-11272: PlaintextPasswordEncoder authenticates encoded passwords that are null.

Users are encouraged to update immediately.

With Spring Boot, you can override the Spring Security version in Maven like so:

<properties>
    <spring-security.version>4.2.13.RELEASE</spring-security.version>
</properties>

Or in Gradle like so:

ext['spring-security.version'] = '4.2.13.RELEASE'

Note that users of Spring Security 5+ are not affected by this vulnerability.

When the details of an API change, clients need to adjust in order to work with these changes. This process takes time and can really slow your APIs evolution and interfere with your ability to iterate quickly.

Offering multiple APIs brings with it its own set of challenges. How do you route requests and responses…
