This is a major upgrade from version 5.7.8 to 7.0.0, spanning two major releases (6.x and 7.x) and introducing significant breaking changes that require substantial code refactoring.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Java 17 Baseline: Spring Security 6.0 and later require Java 17. [2, 7]
• Configuration Overhaul: The previously standard WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is removed. Security configuration must be migrated to a component-based approach using SecurityFilterChain beans. [5, 6, 7]
• API Replacements: The authorizeRequests() and antMatchers() methods are removed and must be replaced with authorizeHttpRequests() and requestMatchers() respectively. The lambda DSL for configuration is now mandatory. [1, 5, 7]
• OAuth2 Changes: Support for the password grant type has been removed in version 7.0. [1]

Source: Spring Security Migration Guides
Recommendation: This upgrade cannot be handled as a simple version bump. A dedicated migration effort is required, following the official guides to first upgrade to 5.8, then to 6.x, and finally to 7.0 to address the deprecated and removed APIs incrementally. [6, 17]
