Spring Security bumped Hibernate to 7.4.4.Final overnight, picking up bug fixes and stability improvements across the ORM layer.

Spring Security pulled in Hibernate ORM 7.4.4.Final [1], a routine maintenance release that addresses fixes in the 7.4 line. This is a patch-level bump with no breaking changes, so it rolls forward cleanly in your dependency tree. If you're running Spring Security with Hibernate as your persistence layer, this update tightens the stack without requiring code changes. All quiet otherwise across the Spring ecosystem.
