spring-graphql is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization

High Risk
This Affects:
spring-graphqlTL;DR
Spring for GraphQL contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its annotation detection mechanism for @Controller data fetchers. When applications use Spring Security's @EnableMethodSecurity feature and implement controllers within type hierarchies, method-level security annotations may not be correctly resolved and can be ignored at runtime. This may allow unauthorized access to GraphQL operations that should be protected by authorization checks.
