The upgrade to spring framework 5.3.18 in spring boot 2.5.12 has a greater diff and its challenging to jump to 5.3.x in a short time frame.

@nit23uec I don't understand the report. Spring Boot 2.5.x builds against Spring Framework 5.3.x since its inception.

@snicoll , I see. thanks. Actually we are using 2.3.1.RELEASE spring boot version in our app which used 5.2.7.RELEASE spring framework. currently, upgrading the spring boot to either 2.6.6 or 2.5.12 brings in 5.3.18 spring framework version. Is there a way to get 5.2.20 spring framework version through spring boot upgrade?

This version is out of OSS support so I am afraid not. However, the documentation describes how you can override a version if you're using our dependency management. I've also pushed a small repository with samples for Maven and Gradle. These are for Spring Boot 2.4 but you could easily adapt that to your own situation.
