hi Team, This is more of a query. This is regarding a Security issue raised internally in our team related to usage of ant version lower than 1.9.12 version. As we know poi-excelant-4.0.1 is dependent on ant-1.8.2, hence, i would like to know if we upgrade ant-1.8.2 to ant-1.9.12, is it fine ? Could you please let us know ? Regards, Sushmita
Are you making use of the ExcelAnt integration? If not, just exclude the poi-excelant and dependencies from your project. It isn't required for most POI functionality, just the ant-based testing of excel file contents <https://poi.apache.org/components/spreadsheet/excelant.html>
You should be able to simply override the dependency on Ant if you cannot exclude it as Nick described. We are testing with versions up to 1.10 in CI and locally.
