SpringFramework Version upgrade resulted in BeanCreationException - spring-framework-beans

Question

I have a java service running in Openshift which involves connecting to ECS S3, read Parquet files and writes to SQL Server Database. This is a Rest service.
I have some of the following in my POM
org.springframework.boot version 2.3.5
Spring-cloud.version Hoxton.SR12
Java 1.8
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-aws</artifactId>
<version> 3.3.1</version>
<dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-common</artifactId>
<version> 3.3.1</version>
<dependency>
This is working with the versions above.
However Aqua Code Scan reported Critical Vulnerabilities and to fix the those, I changed the versions as suggested by the scan tool as below.
org.springframework.boot version 2.5.12
Spring-cloud.version 2020.0.5
Java 1.8
<!-- This is added new -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<!--<version>2.9.10.4</version> -->
<version>2.12.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-aws</artifactId>
<version> 3.3.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-client-runtime</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.htrace</groupId>
<artifactId>htrace-core4</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-java-sdk-bundle</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<!-- Same kind of exclusions for hadoop-common -->
Upon changing, build succeeds, but I ended up getting the following during Deployment in Openshit
