A moderate-severity vulnerability was reported in commons-lang, a transitive dependency of pmd. Since the latest version of pmd does not yet include a patch, a pull request has been created as a temporary fix.

I am nervous of forcing dependency resolution to pick a specific version. I wonder if a version constraint might be a more subtle approach:

dependencies {
    constraints {
        pmd('org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.18.0') {
            because('CVE-2025-48924')
        }
    }
}

This should allow future PMD versions to depend on newer versions of commons-lang3, while ensuring that a vulnerable version (earlier than 3.18.0) is not resolved. What do you think?

I agree. I’ll update the code accordingly. Thanks for the suggestion!
