Dec 14, 2021 14:45:00 A cheat sheet that summarizes how to deal with the Java / Log4j library vulnerability 'Log4Shell' is being released, and the affected products are also revealed at a glance.

More than 80% of Java packages affected by the vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library cannot be updated directly and will require coordination between different project teams to address the flaw.

A group of developers and maintainers scrambled to secure the Log4j vulnerability over the weekend, but there is still a lot of work to do to clean up the mess.

A newly discovered zero-day vulnerability in the widely used Java logging library Apache Log4j is easy to exploit and enables attackers to gain full control of affected servers.

There are 17,000 unpatched Log4j packages in the Maven Central ecosystem, leaving massive supply-chain risk on the table from Log4Shell exploits.

The maintainers of the Java Log4j project had only three sponsors, despite the software being a crucial part of large companies' commercial products and enterprise applications.

Attackers are actively exploiting a critical vulnerability in Apache Log4j, a logging library that’s used in potentially millions of Java-based applications, including web-based ones.

Cyber attackers are making over a hundred attempts to exploit a critical security vulnerability in Java logging library Apache Log4j every minute, security researchers have warned.
