Summary

Are Documentum xCP components affected by CVE-2022-42889 the commons-text library vulnerability?

Resolution

Documentum XCP 22.2 is the first version of the platform that is shipped with the Apache commons-text java library.   This library is focused on algorithms for working with strings that developers may want to consume.  CVE-2022-42889 describes a vulnerability whilst using the StringSubstitutor API of this library – https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/security.html  

This specific API is not consumed in Documentum XCP code-line and therefore it is safe to continue to consume the 1.9 version of the commons-text library that you may find in your XCP built application.

Future versions of the Documentum XCP stack will be updated to at least version 1.10 , customers consuming the Cloud Edition will be able to take the latest security release from November 2022 onwards and this library will be updated to 1.10 or later
