The high risk associated with newly discovered vulnerabilities in the highly popular Apache Log4j library – CVE-2021-44228 (also known as Log4Shell) and CVE-2021-45046 – has led to a security frenzy of unusual scale and urgency. Developers and security teams are pressed to investigate the impact of Log4j vulnerabilities on their software, revealing multiple technical challenges in the process.
The processing of data is a long-standing debate among governments, businesses, and tech giants alike. Major corporations are identifying data privacy violations and sharing how personal data should be handled and shared ethically.

Another — though unlikely — vulnerability was discovered in Log4j’s latest versions: CVE-2021-44832. This is an Arbitrary Code Execution exploit using, yet again, the now infamous JNDI functionality. The vulnerability lets an attacker with control over the Log4j configuration set a malicious datasource for the JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity API) appender. The datasource refers to an attacker-controlled JNDI URI that will execute arbitrary code on the application using Log4j.
