> Does it make it more secure? Any other middleware could also set manually this `request.state.user_authenticated_via = USER_INJECTED_BY_TRUSTED_MIDDLEWARE` to make it as though it was set by refresh token middleware It's really so called "defense-in-depth" - of somebody adds a middleware that will inject a user, it won't work So this is not fixing a security issue per se, but makes the architecture more resilient in case deployment manager makes a mistake. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
