PMD version: 7.3.0 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 67 with Java 23

Question

I am trying to run PMD with a Java 23 project.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.25.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <outputDirectory>target/reports/pmd</outputDirectory>
        <skipEmptyReport>false</skipEmptyReport>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

However, upon run, I am facing this issue:
