I use Spring Boot and Spring Security to create my web project. I want to disable CSRF protection for a specific URL pattern to provide API for Android devices.
Using
I wrote the following config:
package com.hnu.tutorial.configs;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.annotation.Order;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.EnableGlobalMethodSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.RegexRequestMatcher;
import org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.RequestMatcher;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
@Configuration
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
@Order(SecurityProperties.ACCESS_OVERRIDE_ORDER)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
CsrfSecurityRequestMatcher crm = new CsrfSecurityRequestMatcher();
http.csrf().requireCsrfProtectionMatcher(crm).and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll().anyRequest().fullyAuthenticated();
// http.csrf().disable();
}
public class CsrfSecurityRequestMatcher implements RequestMatcher {
private Pattern allowedMethods = Pattern.compile("^(GET|HEAD|TRACE|OPTIONS)$");
private RegexRequestMatcher unprotectedMatcher = new RegexRequestMatcher("/api/**", null);
@Override
public boolean matches(HttpServletRequest request) {
if(allowedMethods.matcher(request.getMethod()).matches()){
return false;
}
return !unprotectedMatcher.matches(request);
}
}
}
When I run this project, I get the following errors:
2016-08-08 09:29:27.172 ERROR 6715 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.a.c.c.C.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/] : Exception starting filter springSecurityFilterChain

The log above shows that regular expression /api/** in
private RegexRequestMatcher unprotectedMatcher = new RegexRequestMatcher("/api/**", null);
has Dangling meta character '*' near index 6 /api/**. But I don't know what this error means.
Although i don't know how to match unprotected url pattern use RegexRequestMatcher , I find another solution. The following works fine for me:
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
RequestMatcher csrfRequestMatcher = new RequestMatcher() {
// Enabled CSFR protection on the following urls:
private AntPathRequestMatcher[] disableCsrfMatchers = {
new AntPathRequestMatcher("/api/**")
};
@Override
public boolean matches(HttpServletRequest request) {
// If the request match one url the CSFR protection will not be enabled
for (AntPathRequestMatcher rm : disableCsrfMatchers) {
if (rm.matches(request)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
} // method matches
};
http.csrf().requireCsrfProtectionMatcher(csrfRequestMatcher).and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll().anyRequest().fullyAuthenticated();
}
