CVE-2021-45105: Apache Log4j2 vulnerable to Improper Input Validation and Uncontrolled Recursion

December 18, 2021 (updated May 9, 2025)

Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3) did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. This allows an attacker with control over Thread Context Map data to cause a denial of service when a crafted string is interpreted. This issue was fixed in Log4j 2.17.0 and 2.12.3.
