Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In certain circumstances, Spring Boot's default web security is ineffective allowing unauthorized access

 no Spring Security configuration of its own and rely on the default web security filter chain; depend on
 spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure; not depend on spring-boot-health. If any of the above does not apply,
 the application is not vulnerable. Affected: Spring Boot 4.0.0–4.0.5; upgrade to 4.0.6 or later per vendor
