SCA: Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Log4j 1.x (GHSA-w9p3-5cr8-m3jj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433370

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - JMSSink in all versions of Log4j 1.x is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker
 has write access to the Log4j configuration or if the configuration references an LDAP service the
 attacker has access to. The attacker can provide a TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configuration causing
 JMSSink to perform JNDI requests that result in remote code execution in a similar fashion to
 CVE-2021-4104. Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use JMSSink, which
 is not the default. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2
 as it addresses numerous other issues from the previous versions. (CVE-2022-23302)
