SPRING FRAMEWORK 7.0.8 ROLLS ACROSS THE STACK WITH SECURITY FIXES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Spring
Spring Framework 7.0.8 landed overnight with high-severity CVE patches, and the entire ecosystem is pulling it in across WebFlow, Boot, WS, LDAP, and Security.
Spring Framework 7.0.8 hit the wire as a maintenance release packed with security fixes [1][2][7], and every major project is already syncing. Spring WebFlow upgraded first [1], followed by Spring WS on both the 7.0.x and 6.2.x tracks [2][3]. Spring LDAP shipped 4.1.0 pulling in the framework bump plus Micrometer 1.17.0 [4], with maintenance releases for 4.0.4 and 3.3.8 following suit [5][6]. Spring Security bumped the framework to 7.0.8 [7], Micrometer to 1.17.0 [8], and Jackson to 3.2.0 in the same window [9]. Spring Boot continues its release coordination work, merging 4.0.x and 3.5.x branches and optimizing Docker test performance [10][11][12]. The pattern here matters: this is coordinated patching across the dependency tree, with no breaking changes flagged but multiple migration guides available for the Micrometer 1.17.0 jump. Skip nothing in this batch. All of it ships together.
