"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2022-2021-004 advisory.

    It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 was incomplete in certain non-
    default configurations. This could allows attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data
    when the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for
    example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input
    data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in a denial of service (DOS) attack. Log4j 2.15.0 makes a best-
    effort attempt to restrict JNDI LDAP lookups to localhost by default. Log4j 2.16.0 fixes this issue by
    removing support for message lookup patterns and disabling JNDI functionality by default. (CVE-2021-45046)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
