ilServer component:
Apache Log4j2 did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. When the
logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with a Context Lookup (for example,
$${ctx:loginId}), attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data can craft
malicious input data that contains a recursive lookup, resulting in a StackOverflowError that will
terminate the process.");
