A new zero-day vulnerability that was recently found to be affecting the popular Java logging library Apache Log4j is already being exploited in the wild, with a POC released publicly on GitHub. This vulnerability allows for unauthenticated remote code execution that could allow for full control of servers. Not only are versions 2.0 through 2.14.1 of Log4j at risk, but some Java programs are likely to be affected as well. Researchers from LunaSec wrote a blog post stating “Given how ubiquitous this library is, the impact of the exploit (full server control), and how easy it is to exploit, the impact of this vulnerability is quite severe. We’re calling it “Log4Shell” for short.”
