This is a major upgrade from Spring Security 5.x to 7.x, which includes two major versions with significant breaking changes. This is a high-risk migration that will require substantial code and configuration updates.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Configuration Rewrite: WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is removed. All security configurations must be migrated to use SecurityFilterChain beans and the lambda DSL. [4, 12]
• Java 17 Required: Spring Security 6.0 and newer require a minimum of Java 17, as it is based on Spring Boot 3. [11]
• OAuth2 Changes: Support for the password grant type has been removed, and PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) is now enabled by default. [5, 12]

Source: Spring Security Migration Guides
Recommendation: This upgrade requires a careful, staged migration. Follow the official Spring Security migration guides, starting with the transition from 5.x to 6.0, before moving to 7.0. Expect to rewrite all security configuration classes.
