Upgrade Apache Commons Collections to v3.2.2 #53

Closed bdspecht closed 8 years ago

bdspecht commented 8 years ago

Version 3.2.1 has a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability. That's the worst kind of vulnerability that exists. By merely existing on the classpath, this library causes the Java serialization parser for the entire JVM process to go from being a state machine to a turing machine. A turing machine with an exec() function!

I should have looked into this a bit more but I won't be able to contribute since this is licensed with AGPL. I'd still recommend updating the version to 3.2.2. Thanks for taking a look!
