Apache Commons Text Vulnerability — What you Need to Know

Updated: Nov 22, 2022

Following a recently reported vulnerability (CVE-2022-42889), we have completed a thorough review of GeoTime applications and their dependencies. Your security is our top priority, and we would like to share the following updates:


GeoTime Desktop

​Not materially affected by the vulnerability.

The GeoTime Desktop application does contain a vulnerable version of the Apache Commons Text library, however, after a thorough code review the vulnerable code path of the library is not used by our application. There is no way to use the exploit via GeoTime Desktop for malicious purposes.

To avoid seeing false positives in security scans on client machines, please consider:

  • Replacing Apache Commons Text (up to version 1.9) with the latest version (v.1.10.0) linked here. Admin rights are required.

  • Email support@geotime.com for detailed steps

GeoTime Desktop - License Utility (ULU) and License Server Application

What’s Next?
