SCA: security update for org.apache.commons:commons-text (GHSA-599f-7c49-w659)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410719

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties to be dynamically evaluated and
 expanded. The standard format for interpolation is "${prefix:name}", where "prefix" is used to locate an
 instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs the interpolation. Starting with
 version 1.5 and continuing through 1.9, the set of default Lookup instances included interpolators that
 could result in arbitrary code execution or contact with remote servers. These lookups are: - "script" -
 execute expressions using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - "dns" - resolve dns records -
 "url" - load values from urls, including from remote servers Applications using the interpolation defaults
 in the affected versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional contact with remote
 servers if untrusted configuration values are used. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Commons
 Text 1.10.0, which disables the problematic interpolators by default. (CVE-2022-42889)
