Hi,

we are checking internally the applications that are using Log4J library in order to update the library or try to mitigate che Log4shell vulnerability published here https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.c ... 2021-44228 or see also here https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/log4shel ... g4j/43124/.

I noticed that Lansa Integrator uses Log4J library. How can we mitigate the issue in Lansa Integrator? Is there some official news from Lansa about that?

Thanks

Here is what I got from John Bo:
Hi, there. LANSA Integrator has this jar in the IFS folder "jsm/instance/jar", but I am not sure if your application uses it at all.
LANSA developers are aware of the issue, working on a solution.
In the mean time please remove jsmlog4j.jar from "jsm/instance/jar" folder, restart JSM and test Integrator related application. Most likely features your application use won't be affected without this jar on your system.
I have some older Integrator functions we build quite a while back, and they are still working fine after removing the jsmlog4j.jar file.
