CVE-2022-42889Text4Shell — Apache Commons Text Interpolation

Apache Commons Text expands lookups inside strings it interpolates, so a value that reaches interpolation from a request can make the application fetch and run remote code.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Commons Text to 1.10.0 or later, and check where interpolation touches request data.
