Keep getting 403 forbidden from spring boot example code

Question

I followed a simple tutorial for newbie for spring boot and setup my first controller and a few API calls. However, I was able to call GET but the POST always gives me 403 error code from postman and curl.

Here is my relevant code

@Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.cors();
    }

    @Bean
    CorsConfigurationSource corsConfigurationSource() {
        CorsConfiguration configuration = new CorsConfiguration();
        configuration.setAllowedOrigins(Arrays.asList("*"));
        configuration.setAllowCredentials(true);
        configuration.setAllowedHeaders(Arrays.asList("Access-Control-Allow-Headers","Access-Control-Allow-Origin","Access-Control-Request-Method", "Access-Control-Request-Headers","Origin","Cache-Control", "Content-Type", "Authorization"));
        configuration.setAllowedMethods(Arrays.asList("DELETE", "GET", "POST", "PATCH", "PUT"));
        UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
        source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", configuration);
        return source;
    }

Here is my controller code

@ApiOperation(value = "Create a new order")
    @RequestMapping(value = "/orders", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "application/json")
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED)
    public Order createOrder(
            @ApiParam(value = "New order object", required = true)
            @RequestBody Order newOrder) {
        newOrder.setSymbol(newOrder.getSymbol().toUpperCase());
        return orderRepository.save(newOrder);
    }

Here is the http response:

{
    "timestamp": "2019-10-08T19:57:03.487+0000",
    "status": 403,
    "error": "Forbidden",
    "message": "Forbidden",
    "path": "/api/v1/orders"
}

I'm requesting with curl as such

curl --location --request POST "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/orders --data "test"

I know its not a CORS issue, I've tried several other auth methods and all of them gives 403 (not 401)

You can try to look at CSRF parameter.

HttpSecurity POST 403 Forbidden

@Override
  protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
      .csrf().disable();
  }
