The host is installed with Apache Log4j 2.0.x through 2.17.0 (excluding security releases 2.3.2 and 2.12.4) and is prone to a remote code execution vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle an issue in the logging configuration file. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to construct a malicious configuration using a JDBC Appender with a data source referencing a JNDI URI which can execute remote code.
