Apache Log4j Vulnerability Poster

The Apache Log4j vulnerability is a critical remote code execution flaw in the widely used Java logging library Log4j. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems by tricking Log4j with a malicious lookup. NIST published a CVE in December 2021 affecting Log4j versions 2.0 through 2.14.1, putting over 100 million servers at risk. While the vulnerability is easy to exploit, mitigations include rapid patching, monitoring, and inventory tools to help identify affected services and track remediation efforts.
