Thanks Steve, you're 100% correct, we're reacting to downstream customers being alerted by scanners to the presence of the "vulnerable" commons-text dependency. We're looking for reliable information to convey downstream. Thanks again.

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.
