22, we updated this blog to include statistics on Log4j exploitation attempts that we identified by analyzing hits on the Apache Log4j Remote Code Execution Vulnerability threat prevention signature for the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall. This version also patches the additional vulnerabilities CVE-2021-45046, found on Dec. We highly recommend that organizations upgrade to the latest version (2.17.1) of Apache Log4j 2 for all systems.
Like many high severity RCE exploits, thus far, massive scanning activity for CVE-2021-44228 has begun on the internet with the intent of seeking out and exploiting unpatched systems. Due to the discovery of this exploit being so recent, there are still many servers, both on-premises and within cloud environments, that have yet to be patched. By submitting a specially crafted request to a vulnerable system, depending on how the system is configured, an attacker is able to instruct that system to download and subsequently execute a malicious payload. Public proof of concept (PoC) code was released and subsequent investigation revealed that exploitation was incredibly easy to perform.
9, 2021, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Apache Log4j 2 was identified being exploited in the wild.
