Ensure the upgrade target aligns with the PR description. The code bumps Spring Boot to 3.4.16, but the PR description mentions 4.0.6 and 3.5.14. Please harmonize the upgrade versions across the description and code, and verify that those versions are actually the intended fixes for the CVE in this repository's release strategy.
