Parser configuration error occurred for logback

I've recently upgraded from spring-boot-starter-web 2.2.2.RELEASE to 2.7.6. This is the build.gradle file for reference.

When I try running the program, it is unable to start and returns the following logs:

The error seems to be parsing the logback.xml file. I have not modified the XML after updating the spring-boot version though.

This is the logback.xml file for reference:
