PKCE is recommended to prevent CSRF and authorization code injection attacks. We should consider enabling enabling PKCE for authorization_code flows by default to ensure we have secure defaults.

In order to ensure this goes as smoothly as possible, I think that we would need to:

  • Ensure it is easy to disable in the event that it breaks users
  • Align the Authorization Server

NOTE: This is a breaking change, so it would need to be done with Spring Security 7.0.
