Hello Mohammad,

Could you tell us if they requested an update to a particular plugin ? Or is it more in general ?

Did you see the Log4j CVE related blog post : https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2021/12/10/log4j2-rce-CVE-2021-44228/

Do I need to change the log4j version or not?

log4j 1.x does not have the CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability. There are other problems, specifically CVE-2019-17571 (if you haven't cared before last week there's no reason to care now), as well as – AFAIUI – a potential issue using the custom JMS appender only on old versions (2018 and older) of the Java runtime, if you let untrusted folks configure your logging system. Neither is even close to being as big of a problem as CVE-2021-44228.

Whether you need to still update from 1.x to 2.5.0, we cannot answer. If your org wants you to update, you're probably going to have to. But I don't think anything substantial changed over the last week for log4j 1.x, which is why your plugin isn't listed in the Jenkins issue.

Affected code wrt log4j component vulnerability CVE-2021-44228 exits in log4j core libraries: log4j-core-*.jar.

I am not sure why your org wanted you to update/remove  log4j-over-slf4j-1.7.31

Thanks
