Vulne­rability Log4J

Log4J: appearance of new vulnerability

This is what Log4J is all about

The new vulnerability in the Java library Log4J makes it very easy for attackers to execute malicious code on their attack targets.

Particularly critical is the fact that the library is used in countless products worldwide. We therefore suspect that a large percentage of the world's infrastructure is affected. Many such products and programs are accessible from the internet and therefore a very easy target for attack.

Protect yourself and your customers

After announcement of the new Log4J vulnerability, our go.lywand.com platform was immediately updated on 13th December 2021.

Vulnerable web applications are identified in the course of lywand's security audits and our service suggests the appropriate measures to partners to protect both their and their customers' infrastructure.
