Log4jPatcher

A Java Agent based mitigation for Log4j2 JNDI exploits.

This agent employs 2 patches:

  • Disabling all Lookup conversions (on supported Log4j versions) in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.pattern.MessagePatternConverter by setting noLookups to true in the constructor.
  • Disabling the org.apache.logging.log4j.core.lookup.JndiLookup class by just returning null in its lookup function.

To use

Download the latest release available from GitHub: https://github.com/CreeperHost/Log4jPatcher/releases

Add -javaagent:Log4jPatcher.jar as a JVM argument.

For Minecraft users: The full path to the jar needs to be added in the above argument unless the jar is put into the instance (or .minecraft) folder. This jar does not go into the mods folder.
