TL;DR

spring-security-core InetAddressMatchers does not treat IPv4 and IPv6 any-local addresses (0.0.0.0 and ::) as internal. matchExternal() therefore classifies them as external and matchInternal() fails to match them. Access-control rules that should treat those addresses as internal can make the wrong decision. The patch classifies any-local addresses as internal.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you use InetAddressMatchers.matchInternal() or matchExternal() for access control involving 0.0.0.0 or ::.

Background info

spring-security-core is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in versions 7.1.0 - 7.1.0.

How to fix this

Upgrade the org.springframework.security:spring-security-core library to the patch version.
