I have a REST call for GCP for fetching the regions. After upgrade of Java version from 8.252 to 8.352, the API is started failing with exception.
org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/my-project/regions": PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

After reverting to older version it's working, but not with 8.352.
