TL; DR Privilege escalation vulnerabilities, often caused by broken or missing authorization, can slip past dynamic tests, like pentests, due to time constraints or limited coverage. This blog dives into how secure code review can fill those gaps, especially in Java Spring applications. We explore how to identify insecure patterns and misconfigurations in Spring’s built-in access control features – such as annotations, expressions, and filters to detect privilege escalation paths early in
