I would report this issue in the project that depends on the old
Velocity version, maybe they will fix it or in the worst case scenario
you will have to prepare a PR - hopefully they will merge it quickly
:)

This was what I started in parallel to my investigation if 1.7 is vulnerable or 
not ;o)
Unfortunately the library opensaml [1][2] library which have the dependency to 
Velocity 1.7 seems somehow active (last release February 2021) but I did not 
find any hint to the related source code repo ;o(
Now I try my luck with the project homepage and their issue tracker ;o)

Unfortunately we have not the option to easily update to the new artifacts.
As we get Velocity 1.7 as a transitive dependency.
Even if we exclude the old 1.7 version and add the 2.3 version we expect 
problems based on the behaviour and API changes mentioned [1].

Hence, we try to understand if Velocity 1.7 is affected by the CVE-2020-13959 
vulnerability.
At least currently it looks like it is affected, as the 2.x and 1.x has the 
same codebase (as far as I understand).
