Giving me log4j vibes.

Much worse. Log4j was hard to exploit and worked only in specific condions. And it was bad. This is something else.

  • But log4j was also extremely painful to patch, since every application bundled the vulnerabile dependency.

    This is a storm, but hopefully quick to blow over with a panic frency of apt update or docker build.

    The immediate exposure is faar worse here though, since its by design internet facing code.

    A college enabled logging on their server as soon as they saw the news, and got dozens of attempted requests against index.php.
