Vulnerability scanner and mitigation patch for Log4j2 CVE-2021-44228

log4j2-scan is a single binary command-line tool for CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability scanning and mitigation patch. It also supports nested JAR file scanning and patch.

Download

• log4j2-scan 1.2.2 (Windows x64)
• log4j2-scan 1.2.2 (Linux x64)
• log4j2-scan 1.2.2 (Any OS, 10KB)

How to use

Just run log4j2-scan.exe or log4j2-scan with target directory path.

On Windows

log4j2-scan [--fix] target_path

On Linux

./log4j2-scan [--fix] target_path

On UNIX (AIX, Solaris, and so on)

java -jar logpresso-log4j2-scan-1.2.2.jar [--fix] [--trace] target_path

If you add --fix option, this program will copy vulnerable original JAR file to .bak file, and create new JAR file without org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class entry. In most environments, JNDI lookup feature will not be used. However, you must use this option at your own risk. It is necessary to shutdown any running JVM process before applying patch. Start affected JVM process after fix.

(mitigated) tag will be displayed if org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class entry is removed from JAR file.

If you add --trace option, this program will print all visited directories and files. Use this option only for debugging.

How it works

Run in 5 steps:

1. Find all .jar files recursively.
2. Find META-INF/maven/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core/pom.properties entry from JAR file.
3. Read groupId, artifactId, and version.
4. Compare log4j2 version and print vulnerable version.
5. If --fix option is used, backup vulnerable file and patch it.
   • For example, original vulnerable.jar is copied to vulnerable.jar.bak
