This Task performs a filesystem scan on Linux systems to attempt detecting Apache Commons Text versions vulnerable to CVE-2022-42889.

- https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-42889
This Task performs a filesystem search across all fixed disks on Linux platforms, to locate Apache Commons Text JAR files, either directly on the filesystem or embedded in a .WAR archive file. In the case any .WAR file is found on the system, the 'unzip' utility is used to perform a listing of files inside the archive to locate Apache Commons Text-related JAR files. Specifically, this Task searches for any versions of commons-text-X.X.X.jar.
Scan results are stored in a "Scans" subdirectory beneath the "BES Client" folder. 'apache-commons-text.log' contains the full script output for potential debugging or diagnosis, and 'apache-commons-text.txt' contains a listing of detected files in one of the forms
- /tmp/commons-text/1.4/commons-text-1.4.jar
- /tmp/commons-text.war::commons-text/1.10.0/commons-text-1.10.0.jar
The first sample entry indicates a detected .jar file directly in the filesystem, while the second entry indicates a detected .jar file embedded within a .WAR archive.
This Task has several known limitations:
- Archives are not extracted recursively - only .JAR files contained directly within a .WAR archive are found; archives embedded within multiple layers of .WAR archives are not detected.
- There is no option to throttle the scan in terms of processor or disk i/o usage. Scans should be executed during non-critical hours, and staggered over time especially where multiple systems share a storage resource, such as a SAN or virtual machine storage pool.
This detection method uses Linux Bash script with external dependencies on 'df', 'find', 'sed', and 'unzip'. Results of the scan may be retrieved using the related Analysis.
