Right. It seems there is only one direct use of that part of commons-text, and 
it is not applied to user-supplied inputs (reads and substitutes into error 
message templates).
At a glance I do not see how it would affect Spark; it's not impossible that it 
does. In any event, commons-text is being updated anyway in branch 3.2 and 
later, so this will be updated in maintained branches eventually. It missed the 
3.3.1 release, but my message is, it's also not even clear it matters to Spark.

I don't think this would become a Spark CVE; it affects commons-text. Sometimes 
CVEs note other affected software products when they are widely-used and very 
directly affected. But typically they would not list every single downstream 
user, let alone generate separate CVEs, and in any event here I do not see an 
argument that it affects Spark anyway.

Thanks Sean,
I assume Spark's not affected because it either doesn't reference the affected 
API(s) or because it does not unsafely utilize user input through the 
vulnerable API(s), but is there an official statement about this from Spark?
We weren't able to find references to 2022-42889 here:

 (likely because Spark determined it is not affected?)

Probably a few months between maintenance releases.
It does not appear to affect Spark, however.

 which addresses CVE-2022-42889 doesn't seem to have been included in the 
latest release 
(3.3.1<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspark.apache.org%2Freleases%2Fspark-release-3-3-1.html&data=05%7C01%7CRodrigo.Pastrana%40lexisnexisrisk.com%7C68d3f984b2414e34d77f08dab833d63f%7C9274ee3f94254109a27f9fb15c10675d%7C0%7C0%7C638024830038882908%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QbQu8azxv7IgS64%2FG66GZyfPVNPv9rz7aOzRx3mTPaI%3D&reserved=0>).
Is there a way to estimate a timeline for the first release which includes that 
change (likely 3.3.2)? Much appreciation!
