This is a two-major-version upgrade from Spring Security 5.7.8 to 7.0.0, which introduces significant breaking changes and requires a migration effort.

Key Changes:

• Java 17 Required: Spring Security 6.0 and newer require Java 17 as a minimum baseline. [2, 7]
• Configuration Overhaul: The WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter has been removed. Security configuration must be updated to use a component-based approach with SecurityFilterChain beans. [2, 5, 7]
• API Replacements: The authorizeRequests() and antMatchers() methods are removed. You must migrate to authorizeHttpRequests() and requestMatchers(). The .and() chainable method has also been removed in favor of a lambda-based DSL. [1, 5, 7]
• OAuth2 Changes: Support for the password grant type has been removed in version 7.0. [1, 17]

Source: Spring Security 6.0 and 7.0 release notes.
Recommendation: This upgrade requires significant code refactoring. Developers must follow the official migration guides, first upgrading to 5.8 to address deprecations, then migrating to 6.0 and finally to 7.0.
