✅ Auto-approved as trivial change
Single 2-line version bump in gradle/libs.versions.toml (spring-boot 4.0.6 → 4.0.7) — a version-field-only update with no new dependencies added or removed, analogous to the package.json version-bump exception, applied here to patch a known CVE (GHSA-cjpg-rgq5-fr37).

Context & Problem
GitHub Security Alerts #130 and #131 flag a moderate-severity Multipart Request Smuggling vulnerability (GHSA-cjpg-rgq5-fr37) in Spring Framework's spring-webmvc and spring-webflux, both pulled in transitively via the Spring Boot BOM (previously 4.0.6) in this OpenAPI validation library. The vulnerable range is >= 7.0.0, <= 7.0.7; the patch is 7.0.8. See USPR-13798.
Solution
Bumped
spring-bootingradle/libs.versions.tomlfrom4.0.6to4.0.7. Spring Boot 4.0.7 manages Spring Framework 7.0.8 (the patched version), so both spring-webmvc and spring-webflux now resolve above the vulnerable range without needing a resolutionStrategy override. Neither package is a direct dependency with an explicit version literal in this repo — both come in transitively (test/testFixtures scope) via the Spring Boot BOM platform import, so no other files needed changes.Verification
