CVE-2022-23305 – SQL injection in JDBC Appender in Apache Log4j V1

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-23305

By design, the JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.2.x accepts an SQL statement as a configuration parameter where the values to be inserted are converters from PatternLayout. The message converter, %m, is likely to always be included. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL by entering crafted strings into input fields or headers of an application that are logged allowing unintended SQL queries to be executed. Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use the JDBCAppender, which is not the default. Beginning in version 2.0-beta8, the JDBCAppender was re-introduced with proper support for parameterized SQL queries and further customization over the columns written to in logs. • http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/01/18/4 https://lists.apache.org/thread/pt6lh3pbsvxqlwlp4c5l798dv2hkc85y https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/index.html https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20220217-0007 https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2022.html https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2022.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-23305 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2041959 • CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') •
