CVE-2021-44228 Detail:
Current Description
Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.12.1 and 2.13.0 through 2.15.0 JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker-controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From log4j 2.15.0, this behaviour has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0, this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects.
Situation
CVE-2021-44228 is a vulnerability in Apache Log4j which is a Java library. So, this vulnerability may affect Java-based applications only.
Impact
Plesk does not use Java internally, so Plesk is not affected by this vulnerability. Since Tomcat support in Plesk was dropped in Plesk 17.8, Plesk does not support users' Java-based applications.
