Description:

We need to update several external dependencies in our Integrity Hash (FE) repository to their latest versions
to ensure we have access to new features, improvements, and security patches.

Dependencies to be Updated:

1. logback-classic

   • Current Version: 1.5.21
   • New Version: 1.5.23

2. flatlaf

   • Current Version: 3.6.2
   • New Version: 3.7

3. exec-maven-plugin

   • Current Version: 3.6.2
   • New Version: 3.6.3

4. maven-assembly-plugin

   • Current Version: 3.7.1
   • New Version: 3.8.0

Steps to be Taken:

1. Update the version numbers in the relevant configuration files (e.g., pom.xml for Maven, build.gradle for
   Gradle).
2. Review and test the project to ensure that all functionalities are working correctly with the updated
   dependencies.
3. Create pull requests for code review and approval.
4. Make sure that xml comments (above the dependency) are pointing to the correct version nummber.

Impact:

• Ensure compatibility of updated versions with our existing codebase
• Potentially resolve any known issues or vulnerabilities in the old versions
