Description

Alex (Migrated from SEC-3026) said:

In my websocket security I've a rule similar to the usual one:

bq. .simpSubscribeDestMatchers("/topic/**").permitAll()

this is nice because it allows any client to subscribe to public queues, but it has a problem: it does not allow them to unsubscribe.

So another method with a tentative name like simpUnsubscribeDestMatchers would be needed for that, or maybe better a method that can match both subscribe and unsubscribe type of messages in order to apply the security policy

Research direction

Start by tracing the WebSocket security configuration entry point that exposes simpSubscribeDestMatchers and how it handles subscribe, unsubscribe, and disconnect messages. Resolve whether the intended behavior covers unsubscribe, disconnect, or both, then verify that the chosen matcher API applies the public-destination policy without weakening other message rules.
