    Discontinued A community sourced list of log4j-affected software

  • Quick thought, if I might: this CVE is going to be difficult for all vulnerability scanners, including Spotlight, as vendors that bundle vulnerable versions of Log4j are not issuing new CVEs for their product — they are piggybacking on 44228. For this reason, vuln. management solutions have to try and write a rule sets for a single CVE that covers tens of thousands of pieces of software. You can see a large, but not exhaustive, list of software that is impacted here.

  • Apache Log4j 2

    Apache Log4j 2 is a versatile, feature-rich, efficient logging API and backend for Java.

  • The current recommended action for all those impacted by CVE-2021-44228 or CVE-2021-45046 is to update to Log4j 2.16.0or higher.
