A critical vulnerability (CVE-2022-42889) in Apache Commons Text allows remote code execution via string interpolation, drawing parallels to the devastating Log4Shell flaw. Though less ubiquitous than Log4j, this 'Text4Shell' impacts versions 1.5 through 1.9 of the widely used Java library. Developers must immediately upgrade to patched version 1.10 to mitigate attack vectors exploiting default interpolator behavior.

A newly discovered vulnerability (CVE-2022-42889) in Apache Commons Text allows remote code execution via crafted input strings, impacting thousands of applications. Dubbed 'Text4Shell', this flaw echoes Log4Shell's widespread threat potential but with key differences in exploitation complexity. Security teams are racing to patch systems as researchers confirm active scanning in the wild.
