Our server has commons-text.1.6.jar in the plugins but also in the WEB-INF/lib.

Thank you.

@Shay Keidar You can download v.1.10 from the Apache web site Commons Text – Download Apache Commons Text and replace your outdated version with the new one in the WEB-INF/lib. Do it in non-production environment first to make sure it won't break anything. In our case, neither JIRA and Confluence had any issues after the update. 

Atlassian is always behind with updating third-party components, and if the finding is critical, it's probably better to update it yourself and not rely on any security advisory.
