Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3371:
-------------------------------------
I personally do not consider this to be worthy of a CVE. I do consider it a
worthy enhancement request.
> Log Injection Vulnerability exists in Log4j2 default configuration

>
> Key: LOG4J2-3371
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3371
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.17.1
> Reporter: 4ra1n
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Priority: Major
>
> For information about log injection, refer to OWASP:
> [https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Log_Injection]
>
> Some time ago, the spring framework revealed two CVE vulnerabilities related
> to log injection: CVE-2021-22096 and CVE-2021-22060:
> [https://tanzu.vmware.com/security/cve-2021-22096]
> [https://tanzu.vmware.com/security/cve-2021-22060]
> Their fix is to filter the log content, such as not allowing line seprators
>
> Some time ago, I found a log injection vulnerability in other Apache project,
> which use log4j2. Although the vulnerability is effective and can be
> triggered, they think I should report the problem to Apahce Log4j and prevent
> such log injection vulnerability under the default configuration
>
> code(under the default configuration)
> {code:java}
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(Main.class);
> logger.info("test\n00:00:00.000 [main] ERROR com.text.Class -
> xxx\nxxx");
> } {code}
>
> output(under the default configuration)
> {code:java}
> 09:47:34.190 [main] INFO com.example.Main - test
> 00:00:00.000 [main] ERROR com.text.Class - xxx
> xxx {code}
> On the exploitation of vulnerabilities: for example, add some confused logs,
> such as forged IP, forged classes, forged error reports and exceptions, which
> brings trouble to the operation and maintenance personnel and auditors.
> Further, if there is an internal log analysis platform, and the xxx is
> wrapped by the script tag, that is, JavaScript code, the platform reading the
> log may have XSS vulnerabilities.
