             Summary: Need to upgrade commons-lang3-3.5.jar to commons-lang3-3.8.jar to allows Struts users to fix CVE-2018-11776 in their app
                 Key: TOMEE-2241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-2241
             Project: TomEE
          Issue Type: Dependency upgrade
          Components: TomEE Core Server
    Affects Versions: 7.0.5
            Reporter: Alexandre Vermeerbergen
             Fix For: 7.0.6


We are running our web apps with TomEE+ 7.0.5 and we are trying to
 upgrade our Apache struts based app to latest version (Struts 2.5.17) because of CVE-2018-11776.

Fixing this CVE-2018-11776 security issue involves upgrading web apps Struts dependency to Struts 2.5.17 (see [https://struts.apache.org/announce.html#a20180822-0)].
 
 However it turns out that Struts 2.5.17 depends on new classes
 introduced in  commons-lang3-3.6 (class
 org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.MethodUtils does not have a method
 getAnnotation method which is expected by struts 2.5.17), and Apache TomEE 7.0.5 comes with commons-lang3-3.5.jar

commons-lang3-3.5.jar is very old, we should upgrade TomEE core's dependency to latest commons-lang3. Currently this is commons-lang3-3.8.jar
