[MDeLuise]

Summary

This pull request addresses a security vulnerability by upgrading Logback to version 1.3.12 and includes necessary updates to related dependencies, such as SLF4J and Spring Boot, to ensure compatibility across the project.

Details

• Upgraded Logback to 1.3.12
  • The primary objective of this update was to resolve a known security vulnerability (CVE) affecting all versions prior to 1.3.12.
• Upgraded SLF4J to 2.0.0
  • Upgrading Logback to version 1.3.x required a corresponding update to SLF4J, as SLF4J 1.x is incompatible with Logback 1.3.x.
  • This change ensures smooth logging functionality and eliminates conflicts arising from older SLF4J versions.
• Updated Spring Boot Version
  • The upgrade to SLF4J 2.0.0 introduced compatibility issues with Spring Boot 2.x, leading to runtime errors when mixing SLF4J 2.x with Spring Boot 2.x.
  • As part of this pull request, Spring Boot has been upgraded to a version compatible with SLF4J 2.0.0 to resolve these issues.

Background

This update is part of a larger effort to enhance the security and stability of the project by addressing known vulnerabilities and maintaining compatibility among core libraries. The changes ensure a smooth upgrade path and avoid runtime errors caused by mismatched versions.
