Unfortunately, the exception you've shared doesn't indicate if the bean that is trying to be created is from your own project or if something in Spring Boot needs to be fixed. Please share a small sample that we can run ourselves that reproduces the issue.

@snicoll I upgraded snakeyaml to 2.0 using springboot version 2.7.13, spring version 5.3.26 and java 1.8 and the same error got resolved but for java 11, it's not working.

@lekhrajAD You can see by yourself that the exception is thrown from a class from com.appdirect.configr.sdk. There's nothing we can do about this so please report the incompatibility to the relevant project.
