Summary
Podatność w Apache Log4j2 (w wersjach od 2.0-beta9 do 2.15.0, z wyjątkiem wydań zabezpieczeń 2.12.2, 2.12.3 i 2.3.1) pozwala atakującym na wykonanie dowolnego kodu poprzez kontrolowane przez nich wiadomości logów i parametry, gdy włączona jest substytucja wyszukiwania wiadomości. Od wersji 2.15.0 to zachowanie zostało domyślnie wyłączone, a w wersji 2.16.0 całkowicie usunięte.
Risk Assessment
Organizacje mogą być narażone na zdalne wykonanie kodu, co może prowadzić do poważnych naruszeń bezpieczeństwa i utraty danych. Atakujący mogą wykorzystać tę podatność do przejęcia kontroli nad systemami korzystającymi z podatnych wersji Log4j.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację do wersji Log4j 2.16.0 lub nowszej, aby usunąć tę podatność. W przypadku niemożności aktualizacji, należy wyłączyć funkcjonalność JNDI w używanych wersjach Log4j.

In cjose versions 0.6.1 through 0.6.2.5, when encrypting a JWE using AES-CBC-HMAC content-encryption algorithms (A128CBC-HS256, A192CBC-HS384, A256CBC-HS512) with any key-management algorithm that generates a fresh content-encryption key (CEK), the CEK is all zero bytes instead of being randomly generated. The resulting JWE is encrypted and authenticated under a fixed, publicly known key, allowing anyone who obtains the JWE to recover plaintext and forge or modify content. Fixed in 0.6.2.6 by generating CEK from RAND_bytes.
- CVE-2026-53581Critical
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.9 of opnsense/core and version 26.4_20 of BE/opnsense/core, a path traversal vulnerability in the NTP configuration module allows an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system as the root user. By manipulating the GPS or PPS serial port parameter, an attacker with access to the NTP configuration can escape the intended directory and write user-controlled data to any file.

The Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues due to improper HTML encoding of data in search results and updater log content displayed in the admin panel. An authenticated user with privileges to modify directory attributes, or a low-privileged local user on the host, could insert script content that executes in an administrator's browser.
Original NVD description (English source)
Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.15.0 (excluding security releases 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1) 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 behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0 (along with 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1), 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.
