Description
The mitigation advice for CVE-2021-4428 suggests that for Log4j > 2.10.0 and < 2.15.0, the vulnerability can be avoided by setting -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true or upgrading to 2.15.0. However, many users may not be aware that even in this case, lookups used in layouts to provide specific pieces of context information will still recursively resolve, possibly triggering JNDI lookups. In order to avoid attacker-controlled JNDI lookups, users must also either:
- Ensure that no such lookups resolve to attacker-provided data
- Ensure that the the JndiLookup class is not loaded
- Upgrade to log4j2 2.16.0 (untested)
