Check Custom Project Code for Incompatibilities With Upgraded Libraries

Particular caution is warranted for the xmlbeans library used in processing custom REST API requests with an XML payload, PDFBox, and the POI library used to extract text from common office software file formats. These libraries have been updated to a more recent version that may introduce backward compatibility issues for custom project code to avoid published security vulnerabilities.
