The recommended minimums for PBKDF2, as per OWASP Cheat Sheet Series (https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html), are:
If FIPS-140 compliance is required, use PBKDF2 with a work factor of 310,000 or more and set with an internal hash function of HMAC-SHA-256.
Previous default configuration:
algorithm=SHA1, iterations=185000, hashLength=256
New default configuration:
algorithm=SHA256, iterations=310000, hashLength=256
The default salt length was also updated from 8 to 16.

The recommended minimums for scrypt, as per OWASP Cheat Sheet Series (https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html), are:
Use scrypt with a minimum CPU/memory cost parameter of (2^16), a minimum block size of 8 (1024 bytes), and a parallelization parameter of 1.
Previous default configuration:
cpuCost=16384, memoryCost=8, parallelism=1
New default configuration:
cpuCost=65536, memoryCost=8, parallelism=1
The default salt length was also updated from 64 to 16.

Use Argon2id with a minimum configuration of 15 MiB of memory, an iteration count of 2, and 1 degree of parallelism.
Previous default configuration:
memory=4, iterations=3, parallelism=1
New default configuration:

Issue gh-11305
If Spring MVC is present in the classpath, use MvcRequestMatcher by default. This commit also adds a new securityMatcher method in HttpSecurity
Closes gh-11347
Closes gh-9159
OWASP recommends using "X-Xss-Protection: 0". The default is currently
"X-Xss-Protection: 1; mode=block". In 6.0, the default will be "0".
This commits adds the ability to configure the xssProtection header
value in ServerHttpSecurity.
This commit deprecates the use of "enabled" and "block" booleans to
configure XSS protection, as the state "!enabled + block" is invalid.
This impacts HttpSecurity.
