Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Authenticated users may be able to list authorities without the intended authorization check. Protect the read endpoints before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to Authorization decisions can share request data across concurrent calls, potentially applying one caller’s permission check to another operation. The new authorization contract also advertises protection that is not fully enforced, while authority catalogue reads lack privilege-specific checks. These changes affect protected operations rather than isolated implementation details. Retained concerns

@application-engine/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/auth/web/AuthorityController.java:
- Line 47: Remove the consumes constraint from the bodiless GET and DELETE
handler mappings in AuthorityController, including the delete/{name} mapping and
the other indicated mappings, so requests without a Content-Type header are
accepted. Keep consumes on mappings that read a request body.
- Around line 74-100: Add the required ADMIN authorization to
AuthorityController’s getAll, getOne, and getAllByScope endpoints. In getOne and
create, return a not-found response when the authority is missing instead of
returning null. Update the three read endpoints’ @Operation descriptions to
describe retrieving authorities rather than deleting them.
Review comments at
@application-engine/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/petrinet/web/PetriNetController.java:
- Around line 128-135: The getAll endpoint requires PROCESS_VIEW, but newly
created non-admin users receive only USER. Configure PROCESS_VIEW as a default
user authority, ensure the user-creation authority assignment applies that
default, and backfill existing users so they can access the endpoint.
Review comments at @docs/authorization/authority.md:
- Around line 280-298: Update the REST endpoint documentation to match
AuthorityController: state that only create and delete are annotated with
@Authorize, remove AUTHORITY_GET_ALL and AUTHORITY_VIEW as required authorities,
and document ADMIN as an alternative for create and delete. Keep the table and
surrounding note consistent with the controller’s actual authorization behavior.
- Around line 105-142: Update the property keys in the custom-authority and
default-authority examples to use the `netgrif.engine.authority` prefix,
`additional-authorizing-objects` for custom objects, and kebab-case
default-authority names. Replace `AuthorityProperties` with
`AuthorityConfigurationProperties` in the explanatory text.
Review comments at
@nae-user-ce/src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/auth/service/BaseAuthorizationServiceAspect.java:
- Around line 44-51: Create a new StandardEvaluationContext inside each
isAllowedByExpression call instead of sharing the evaluationContext field, so
request arguments and variables cannot leak across concurrent or later checks.
Keep the BeanFactoryResolver reusable as a field and attach it to each new
context.
- Line 59: Update both authorization advice pointcuts in
BaseAuthorizationServiceAspect to match type-level annotations as well as
method-level annotations, adding the corresponding @within match for each
existing @annotation match. Preserve the current advice behavior and parameter
bindings.

Information Disclosure
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization
Protect the authority read endpoints.
getAll, getOne, and getAllByScope have no @Authorize annotation. Any authenticated user can list every authority in the system. The documentation says that these endpoints are protected.
Line 90 returns null when the authority is missing. The client then gets an empty 200 response instead of a 404. Line 70 in create has the same problem.
All three @Operation descriptions say "Delete authority". Correct them.
Proposed fix
+ @Authorize(authority = "ADMIN")
@Operation(description = "Get all authorities", ...)
...
- return null;
+ return ResponseEntity.notFound().build();📝 Committable suggestion

Grant PROCESS_VIEW to regular users before enforcing it.
GET /api/petrinet now allows only ADMIN or PROCESS_VIEW. User creation assigns only USER, and the configured default-authority list is empty and unused by that assignment path. A newly created non-admin user can therefore receive AccessDeniedException when listing processes. Add the default grant and backfill existing users.

The getAll endpoint requires PROCESS_VIEW, but newly created non-admin users
receive only USER. Configure PROCESS_VIEW as a default user authority, ensure
the user-creation authority assignment applies that default, and backfill
existing users so they can access the endpoint.

| Authorities can be managed at runtime through the authority REST controller under | ||
| `/api/authority`. All endpoints are themselves protected with `@Authorize`: | ||
|
|
||
| | Method & path | Required authority | Description | | ||
| |------------------------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------| | ||
| | `POST /api/authority/create` | `AUTHORITY_CREATE` | Create (or return existing) authority by name | | ||
| | `DELETE /api/authority/delete/{name}` | `AUTHORITY_DELETE` | Delete an authority by name | | ||
| | `GET /api/authority/all` | `AUTHORITY_GET_ALL`* | Retrieve all authorities | | ||
| | `GET /api/authority/{name}` | `AUTHORITY_VIEW` | Retrieve a single authority by name | | ||
| | `GET /api/authority/scope/{scope}` | `AUTHORITY_VIEW` | Retrieve all authorities within a scope | | ||
|
|
||
| These endpoints delegate to `AuthorityService`, which persists authorities in MongoDB via | ||
| `AuthorityRepository` and supports scope-based lookups through `findByScope`. | ||
|
|
||
| > The controller is only registered when the `nae.user.web.enabled` property is `true` | ||
| > (which is the default). | ||
|
|
||
| *Note: the "get all" endpoint requires the authority the controller declares for it; make | ||
| sure your users are granted the corresponding authority in your configuration. |

Align the REST table with AuthorityController.
The table does not match the controller code.
- Line 281 says that all endpoints use
@Authorize. Onlydeleteandcreatecarry annotations. AUTHORITY_GET_ALLandAUTHORITY_VIEWare notAuthorizingObjectvalues.- The table omits the
ADMINalternative oncreateanddelete.
Update this section after you fix the controller.

Review comment at @docs/authorization/authority.md around lines 280 - 298:
Update the REST endpoint documentation to match AuthorityController: state that
only create and delete are annotated with @Authorize, remove AUTHORITY_GET_ALL
and AUTHORITY_VIEW as required authorities, and document ADMIN as an alternative
for create and delete. Keep the table and surrounding note consistent with the
controller’s actual authorization behavior.

Security Misconfiguration
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization
Enforce type-level @Authorize, or remove ElementType.TYPE. Both advices use only @annotation(...), so class-level annotations do not trigger authorization. Add matching @within(...) pointcuts for both annotations.
Include type-level annotations in both pointcuts
- @Around(value = "@annotation(authorizations)", argNames = "joinPoint,authorizations")
+ @Around(value = "@annotation(authorizations) || @within(authorizations)", argNames = "joinPoint,authorizations")

- @Around(value = "@annotation(authorize)", argNames = "joinPoint,authorize")
+ @Around(value = "@annotation(authorize) || @within(authorize)", argNames = "joinPoint,authorize")📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Correct the documented annotation target.
@Target permits METHOD only, but docs/authorization/authority.md Line 153 says @Authorize also targets types. Class-level use will not compile. Update the documentation to say methods only, or add type-level support and matching aspect pointcuts if that is the intended contract.
