See, GitHub nags me about "your dependencies have CVE". I am sure I am not the only one who still has commons-lang via transitive dependency. I am sure the actual ClassUtil usage is minimal, however, I do not want to have vulnerable classes on the classpath. Frankly, the policy of "not providing a fix for CVE" does not sound right to me. I've prepared a fix: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/compare/LANG_2_6...vlsi:commons-lang:lang-2.6-CVE-2025-48924?expand=1 >How about using the >current io.codearte.gradle.nexus:gradle-nexus-staging-plugin 0.30.0 It might work, however having a clear way to avoid CVE would help consumers while they remove -lang:2 from their code.
