Tenable Solution CenterLatest Research and Insights on Cve-2021-44228 Aka Log4shell
As organizations around the world scramble to address the critical Log4j vulnerability, known as Log4Shell, the number one question on every security leader’s mind is: How do I know if I have this out there?
The sheer ubiquity of Apache Log4j, an open-source logging framework, makes this a particularly challenging question to answer. Not only do many organizations use Log4j in their own source code, it’s also used in many of the products these organizations acquire from third parties.
Organizations around the world will be dealing with the long-tail consequences of this vulnerability, known as Log4Shell, for years to come. We’re dedicated to supporting our customers and the broader security community through this challenging time, and have put together some resources to help you find and fix CVE-2021-44228.
A Fukushima Moment
By Renaud Deraison,former CTO and Founder
The discovery of a critical flaw in the Apache Log4j software is nothing short of a Fukushima moment for the cybersecurity industry.
Ten years ago, an earthquake and subsequent tidal wave triggered the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant that continues to plague the region today. Similarly, the early exploitation of Log4j, during which attackers will go after the low-hanging fruit exposed by the vulnerability, will evolve over time to take the form of more complex attacks on more sensitive systems that have less exposure to the internet.
