             Summary: Upgrade beanutils to 1.9.2
                 Key: VELTOOLS-170
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-170
             Project: Velocity Tools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Mark Symons
            Priority: Critical


Update dependency on commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils to v1.9.2 to mitigate 
CVE-2014-0114.   See BEANUTILS-463 for fix info.

Velocity Tools v2.0 currently uses bean-utils v1.7.0

Whilst the CVE text references beanutils v1.8.0,  Black Duck Hub threat 
analysis have updated affected versions to include 1.7.0.

Apache Commons BeanUtils, as distributed in lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar in 
Apache Struts 1.x through 1.3.10 and in other products requiring 
commons-beanutils through 1.9.2, does not suppress the class property, which 
allows remote attackers to "manipulate" the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary 
code via the class parameter, as demonstrated by the passing of this parameter 
to the getClass method of the ActionForm object in Struts 1.
