Spring Security bumped its logging dependency to the latest Logback patch, picking up bug fixes and stability improvements.

Dependabot merged a routine dependency upgrade that moves spring-security from Logback 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 [1]. The patch release closes out minor issues in the logging framework that underpins Spring's diagnostic output. This is a low-risk update, the kind that ships without ceremony but keeps your observability stack current. No breaking changes, no configuration rewrites needed. If you're running Spring Security in production, this arrives in your next framework upgrade cycle.
