SPRING BOOT FIXES MAIL SECURITY GAP, SPRING AI RESTORES PDF HANDLING

Spring Boot 4.0.7 patches a hostname verification bypass in MailSender auto-configuration while Spring AI closes a critical regression that broke PDF document parsing in Claude and GPT models.

Spring Boot 4.0.7 landed overnight with a security fix for MailSender auto-configuration that was silently disabling hostname verification [1]. This is the kind of silent-fail security issue that ships undetected in production. Spring AI simultaneously shipped a fix restoring PDF media mapping in OpenAiChatModel [2], which broke in the 2.0 rewrite onto the official OpenAI SDK. PDFs were falling through to base64 text instead of parsed documents. Spring AI also fixed MCP integration test flakiness [3] by gracefully closing servers, tuning timeouts to 60s, and standardizing container images. Across the stack, Spring Integration hardened two critical bugs: a multibyte character offset issue in DatagramPacketMessageMapper [4] that corrupted UDP messages with non-ASCII headers, and a Math.abs() overflow in PartitionedDispatcher [5] that crashed with Integer.MIN_VALUE. Spring Boot dependency management got realigned [7], removing Protobuf Common Protos management to let gRPC Java control the version transitively. Spring AI replaced deprecated Jackson methods [6], migrating from asText() to asString() and switching to jspecify annotations for null safety.
