Spring Security 3.2 CSRF disable for specific URLs

Enabled CSRF in my Spring MVC application using Spring security 3.2.

My spring-security.xml

<http>
 <intercept-url pattern="/**/verify"  requires-channel="https"/>
 <intercept-url pattern="/**/login*"  requires-channel="http"/>
 ...
 ...
 <csrf />
</http>

Trying to disable CSRF for requests that contain 'verify' in request URL.

MySecurityConfig.java

    @Configuration
    @EnableWebSecurity
    public class MySecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    
    private CsrfMatcher csrfRequestMatcher = new CsrfMatcher();
    
    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        
        http.csrf().requireCsrfProtectionMatcher(csrfRequestMatcher);
        
    }

    class CsrfMatcher implements RequestMatcher {
        @Override
        public boolean matches(HttpServletRequest request) {
        
            if (request.getRequestURL().indexOf("verify") != -1)
                return false;
            else if (request.getRequestURL().indexOf("homePage") != -1)         
                return false;
        
            return true;
        }
    }

    }

Csrf filter validates CSRF token that is submitted from 'verify' and Invalid token exception (403) is thrown as I'm submitting request to https from http. How can I disable csrf token authentication in such a scenario ?

I know this is not a direct answer, but people (as me) usually don't specify spring's version when searching for this kinds of questions. So, since spring security a method exists that lets ignore some routes:

The following will ensure CSRF protection ignores:

  1. Any GET, HEAD, TRACE, OPTIONS (this is the default)
  2. We also explicitly state to ignore any request that starts with "/sockjs/"
http
    .csrf()
        .ignoringAntMatchers("/sockjs/**")
        .and()
         ...

With Spring Security 6, the csrf method that takes a Customizer parameter should be used.

Sample configuration:

@Bean
SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http.csrf(csrf -> csrf.ignoringRequestMatchers("/somepath", "/other/**"));
    return http.build();
}

<http ...>
    <csrf request-matcher-ref="csrfMatcher"/>

    <headers>
        <frame-options policy="SAMEORIGIN"/>
    </headers>

    ...
</http>

<b:bean id="csrfMatcher"
    class="AndRequestMatcher">
    <b:constructor-arg value="#{T(org.springframework.security.web.csrf.CsrfFilter).DEFAULT_CSRF_MATCHER}"/>
    <b:constructor-arg>
        <b:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.NegatedRequestMatcher">
          <b:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AntPathRequestMatcher">
            <b:constructor-arg value="/chat/**"/>
          </b:bean>
        </b:bean>
    </b:constructor-arg>
</b:bean>

mean of

 http
        .csrf()
            // ignore our stomp endpoints since they are protected using Stomp headers
            .ignoringAntMatchers("/chat/**")

example from : https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/4.1.x/reference/htmlsingle/

Explicitly disable for specific url patterns and enable for some url patterns.

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.annotation.Order;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {

    @Configuration
    @Order
    public static class GeneralWebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
        
        
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.csrf().ignoringAntMatchers("/rest/**").and()
            .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/").permitAll()
            .antMatchers("/home/**","/search/**","/geo/**").authenticated().and().csrf()
            .and().formLogin().loginPage("/login")
            .usernameParameter("username").passwordParameter("password")
            .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/error")
            .and().sessionManagement().maximumSessions(1).maxSessionsPreventsLogin(true);
        }
    }
}

I am using Spring Security v4.1. After a lot of reading and testing, I disable the CSRF security feature for specific URLs using XML configuration.

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
             xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
             xsi:schemaLocation="
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-4.1.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-4.0.xsd">

    <http pattern="/files/**" security="none" create-session="stateless"/>

    <http>
        <intercept-url pattern="/admin/**" access="hasAuthority('GenericUser')" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />
        <form-login 
            login-page="/login" 
            login-processing-url="/login"
            authentication-failure-url="/login"
            default-target-url="/admin/"
            password-parameter="password"
            username-parameter="username"
        />
        <logout delete-cookies="JSESSIONID" logout-success-url="/login" logout-url="/admin/logout" />
        <http-basic />
        <csrf request-matcher-ref="csrfMatcher"/>
    </http>

    <beans:bean id="csrfMatcher" class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.OrRequestMatcher">
        <beans:constructor-arg>
            <util:list value-type="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.RequestMatcher">
                <beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AntPathRequestMatcher">
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="pattern" value="/rest/**"/>
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="httpMethod" value="POST"/>
                </beans:bean>
                <beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AntPathRequestMatcher">
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="pattern" value="/rest/**"/>
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="httpMethod" value="PUT"/>
                </beans:bean>
                <beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AntPathRequestMatcher">
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="pattern" value="/rest/**"/>
                    <beans:constructor-arg name="httpMethod" value="DELETE"/>
                </beans:bean>
            </util:list>
        </beans:constructor-arg>
    </beans:bean>

    //...

</beans:bean>

With the above configuration, I enable the CSRF security only for POST|PUT|DELETE requests of all URLs which start with /rest/.

Use security="none". for e.g in spring-security-config.xml

<security:intercept-url pattern="/*/verify" security="none" />

I hope that my answer can help someone else. I found this question searching for How to disable CSFR for specfic URLs in Spring Boot.

I used the solution described here: http://blog.netgloo.com/2014/09/28/spring-boot-enable-the-csrf-check-selectively-only-for-some-requests/

This is the Spring Security configuration that allow me to disable the CSFR control on some URLs:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

  @Override
  protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

    // Build the request matcher for CSFR protection
    RequestMatcher csrfRequestMatcher = new RequestMatcher() {

      // Disable CSFR protection on the following urls:
      private AntPathRequestMatcher[] requestMatchers = {
          new AntPathRequestMatcher("/login"),
          new AntPathRequestMatcher("/logout"),
          new AntPathRequestMatcher("/verify/**")
      };

      @Override
      public boolean matches(HttpServletRequest request) {
        // If the request match one url the CSFR protection will be disabled
        for (AntPathRequestMatcher rm : requestMatchers) {
          if (rm.matches(request)) { return false; }
        }
        return true;
      } // method matches

    }; // new RequestMatcher

    // Set security configurations
    http
      // Disable the csrf protection on some request matches
      .csrf()
        .requireCsrfProtectionMatcher(csrfRequestMatcher)
        .and()
      // Other configurations for the http object
      // ...

    return;
  } // method configure


  @Autowired
  public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) 
      throws Exception {

    // Authentication manager configuration  
    // ...

  }

}

It works with Spring Boot 1.2.2 (and Spring Security 3.2.6).
