🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[pushkala-datastax]

This is a minor version upgrade for athenz-zpe-java-client spanning a significant number of releases from 1.10.50 to 1.12.43.

Official changelogs for the Athenz project are high-level and do not detail specific breaking changes for this client library. The primary changes noted across this version range are feature additions, bug fixes, and frequent updates to underlying dependencies. [3, 4]

Potential Risks:

• Transitive Dependency Updates: The upgrade likely includes newer versions of core libraries (like Jetty). This could introduce subtle behavioral changes or conflicts with other dependencies in the project.
• Lack of Detailed Release Notes: The absence of specific release notes for the athenz-zpe-java-client introduces uncertainty. Changes that are not explicitly documented as breaking could still impact specific use cases.

Recommendation:
Due to the wide version span and lack of detailed documentation, this upgrade is assessed as medium risk. It is recommended to perform thorough regression testing, paying close attention to authorization logic and potential classpath conflicts from updated transitive dependencies.
