CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046

Dec. 13, 2021

As soon as reports of the vulnerabilities in the open-source Apache Log4j logging utility were announced on December 10th, 2021, Osano’s engineering team launched an investigation into our use of Log4j across our services, systems and applications. While we found several instances where we were using this dependency for logging, every case involved entirely backend services where no public interface is exposed. Despite this, Osano is working to update instances where we use Log4j or remove this dependency entirely from these internal services.
