I have tried other validations such as @Valid and @Validated, as well as field value annotations on the object, but nothing works. I am wondering if there is a way around this without having to write a custom deserializer instead of using @RequestBody or adding it as a false positive.
This has nothing to do with @RequestBody
in particular.
You probably disabled (or didn't configure) CSRF in your security configuration.
more information about csrf can be found in the official spring security documentation
here is an example of a configuration file taken from the getting started page
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.provisioning.InMemoryUserDetailsManager;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
.requestMatchers("/", "/home").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
)
.formLogin((form) -> form
.loginPage("/login")
.permitAll()
)
.logout((logout) -> logout.permitAll());
return http.build();
}
@Bean
public UserDetailsService userDetailsService() {
UserDetails user =
User.withDefaultPasswordEncoder()
.username("user")
.password("password")
.roles("USER")
.build();
return new InMemoryUserDetailsManager(user);
}
}
If you don't have this in any shape or form, I suggest you start there.
