High level design:

Issue:

This MR addresses multiple HIGH severity vulnerabilities related to Netty and Jackson, and simplifies dependency management.

Change details:

  • Upgraded Spring Boot version to address high and critical CVEs:

    • CVE-2026-33870 (netty-codec-http) -> app.jar/BOOT-INF/lib/netty-codec-http-4.1.130.Final.jar
    • CVE-2026-33871 (netty-codec-http2) -> app.jar/BOOT-INF/lib/netty-codec-http2-4.1.130.Final.jar
    • CVE-2026-22732 (security:spring-security-web) -> app.jar/BOOT-INF/lib/spring-security-web-6.5.7.jar
    • CVE-2026-24734 (tomcat) -> app.jar/BOOT-INF/lib/tomcat-embed-core-10.1.50.jar
    • CVE-2021-0341 (com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp) -> app.jar/BOOT-INF/lib/okhttp-3.14.9.jar

    The upgrade ensures alignment with a safer Netty version (4.1.132.Final) , Jackson (2.21.2) , Tomcat (10.1.53)

  • Removed explicit Jackson BOM, Netty BOM override, since Spring Boot provides safe versions
