SimpleAuthenticationInfo.merge does not merge principals if its internal principal collection is not mutable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHIRO-156 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-156 Project: Shiro Issue Type: Bug Components: Authentication (log-in) Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Bryan Turner In SimpleAuthenticationInfo.merge(AuthenticationInfo), there is the following code: {code} if (this.principals == null) { this.principals = info.getPrincipals(); } else { if (this.principals instanceof MutablePrincipalCollection) { ((MutablePrincipalCollection) this.principals).addAll(info.getPrincipals()); } else { this.principals = new SimplePrincipalCollection(this.principals); } } {code} The logic in the nested else block appears incorrect. If the current "principals" collection is not MutablePrincipalCollection, a new SimplePrincipalCollection, which is mutable, is constructed from it. However, it does not copy the principals from other.getPrincipals(), which by that point in the method is known to be non-null and non-empty, after it makes a mutable principal collection. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
