Hi Mehmet, I like your move to fail-closed here. I've certainly seen missing auth decorators as a recurring issue in my career, and I do think as an OWASP top ten we should try tackle it better in the framework.
Your implementation is very few lines of code. It could be made more robust, using the attribute approach that the CSRF middleware uses: https://github.com/django/django/blob/7075d27b0c75f1431f29497f4353cd742906b357/django/middleware/csrf.py#L209 . And it could easily be added to django.contrib.auth, and the default project template. AuthenticationMiddleware doesn't in fact have a process_view method at current, so we could even add it there with a setting to control it. I doubt many would be against it as an optional extra.
