Description
Gael Hatchue (Migrated from SEC-2717) said:
AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter overrides afterPropertiesSet() method, but neither calls initFilterBean() nor afterPropertiesSet() from GenericFilterBean. Is this by design or a bug?
This seems similar to SEC-2038.

Research direction
Start by reading AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter.afterPropertiesSet() and the GenericFilterBean lifecycle it is expected to participate in. Compare this behavior with the related SEC-2038 report and determine whether the missing initFilterBean() or superclass call is intentional; completion should establish the intended lifecycle behavior and cover it with an appropriate regression test.
