# 12.38.0

## Security

* Spring Boot upgraded from 3.5.14 to 3.5.15 to address reported CVEs.

## New Features

* **Load a zaak in a form flow**

  A new `zakenFormFlow` bean lets form flows load a zaak from the Zaken API by its `identificatie` through a `getZaak` method that can be used in SpEL expressions (for example `onOpen` or `onComplete`). The full zaak is returned, so any of its fields can be used in subsequent steps or conditions. Access is secured with PBAC: a new `Zaak` resource type with a `view` action ensures only users authorized for the matching zaaktype can load a zaak. See [Load a zaak in a form flow](/v12/features/zgw/load-zaak-in-form-flow.md) for details.
