Research direction
Start by locating the CodeQL query named "Disabled Spring CSRF protection" and review how it identifies Spring Security configurations. Reproduce the provided stateless JWT/OIDC resource-server example, then verify that disabling CSRF no longer triggers the query for this configuration while the reported case remains covered.

Description
Description of the false positive
Given a SpringBoot application that acts solely as an API/OIDC Resource Server and does not utilize cookies or state, where CSRF is disabled, the CodeQL / Disabled Spring CSRF protection should not be triggered.
