critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416322
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.15.0 (excluding security releases 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1) JNDI
features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker controlled
LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters
can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From
log4j 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0 (along with 2.12.2, 2.12.3,
and 2.3.1), this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to
log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects.
