Apache Log4j Vulnerability

[Shreya]

All Java applications come with Log4j, a logging library/facade that allows programmers to release output logs to numerous output targets. Log4j is an integral part of Apache Logging Services, which cybercriminals can use to launch RCE attacks due to a vulnerability.

The Log4j bug has sent shockwaves to the worldwide IT ecosystem, where experts are coming together to remediate the Log4JShell (CVE-2021-44228) vulnerability to the digital infrastructure. Many cybersecurity experts also regard the attack to have precedence to surpass any cyberattack from the past decade. A continuous patch management tool can prevent such exploits from occurring.

We often consider a cyberattack a wildfire, but the Log4j vulnerability is deemed a widespread in-the-wild attack. Apache Log4j vulnerability has a CVSS severity level of 10 out of 10, the highest score possible.
