  • Log4j 2.15.0 – Previously suggested mitigations may not be enough

    Logstash is a hugely popular service for collecting/processing/shipping logs, mainly associated with elasticsearch ("ELK") but has lots of output plugins. It uses log4j, so if one of the log events it was processing contained an exploit string, and also caused logstash to encounter an error processing or shipping the message, that message would get logged to logstash's own log, thus triggering the exploit deep in someone's infrastructure.
