- 6The New Stack·6/11/2026framework_updateAI coding agents struggle with Spring Boot upgrades
The article argues that natural-language upgrades of large Java/Spring codebases with AI coding agents are often slow, costly, and unreliable. In a Spring Petclinic example, an attempted migration from Spring Boot 3.5.x to Spring Boot 4 consumed many tokens, introduced unwanted changes and compilation issues, and still failed. The piece concludes that continuous, incremental upgrading is often more deterministic, especially when security fixes are urgent.

Broadcom announced a major security update effort for the Spring Framework, including open-source remediation work and day-zero CVE-only patches for enterprise Tanzu Spring customers. The move follows a sharp rise in reported Spring security advisories, which Broadcom and analysts attribute in part to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and the growing use of Java for production AI systems.
