Actus intelligent monitoring and compliance platform is not impacted and 100% safe!
The Apache Software Foundation has released an emergency security update to patch a zero-day vulnerability. Companies with servers confirmed to be vulnerable to Log4Shell attacks include the likes of Apple, Amazon, Twitter, Cloudflare, Steam, Tencent, Baidu, DIDI, JD, NetEase, and possibly thousands more.
The vulnerability, also nicknamed Log4Shell, can be exploited immediately and can have a huge impact. Any Java application that logs data using Log4j is vulnerable. It’s the most popular logging framework in the Java ecosystem and is used by millions of applications.
Actus Digital confirms its TV logger and monitoring platform is not exposed to this vulnerability. Actus servers do not use any Java component and are totally safe from this threat.
The vulnerability affects not only Java-based applications and services that use this library directly, but also many other popular Java components and development frameworks that rely on it. This is reported to include: Apache Struts2, Apache Solr, Apache Druid, Apache Flink, ElasticSearch, Apache Kafka and many others. Any server running these applications is susceptible to remote code execution. When a user generates a request that includes an input, and that request gets logged through Log4j, the vulnerability can be easily exploited. Since most applications are built to accept user input, many servers are at risk.
Organizations should immediately review if their apps, especially publicly accessible ones, use this library and should mitigate their exposure as soon as possible.
This is a major issue for security teams: remote attackers can access and control applications and devices if the code is hiding anywhere on an organization’s network. This is especially concerning to larger and more complex environments because they include hundreds of software applications.
