Key takeaways: + <ul> + <li>If you rely on software that uses a version of commons-text prior to 1.10.0, you are likely still not vulnerable: only if this software uses the <code>StringSubstitutor</code> API without propery sanitizing any untrusted input.</li> + <li>If your own software that uses commons-text, double-check whether it uses the <code>StringSubstitutor</code> API without propery sanitizing any untrusted input. If so, an update to 1.10.0 could be a quick workaround, but the recommended solution is to also properly validate and sanitize any untrusted input.</li> Review Comment: Your own software uses?
