Spring Cloud Gateway not allowing Encoded URL paths after Update

[kpolli]

Describe the bug
I just updated my Spring Cloud Gateway Application from 2021.0.1 to 2023.0.1 and Spring Boot from 2.7.3 to 3.2.5. I have noticed that URL encoded values (like %2F) returns a HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request. I have tried putting break points but none seem to be hit. Is this no longer supported in the new version or there is a setting I'm missing or it's a bug?

Sample
Calling http://localhost:8080/user/abc%2Fxyz doesn't work but http://localhost:8080/user/abc/xyz and http://localhost:8080/user/abcxyz both work after this change
