Recursive vulnerability scanner for Log4j CVEs in archives and Docker images. Detects JndiLookup.class and vulnerable versions via SHA256 hashes, with optional patching to remove the exploit class.
This scanner will recursively scan paths including archives for vulnerable log4j versions and org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class files.
Currently the allow list defines non exploitable versions, in this case log4j-core 2.17.0 and 2.12.3.

$ divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner.exe {target-path}
$ divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner {target-path}
Using the tool you can now also scan containers:
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner scan-image logstash:7.16.1
or local images:
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner scan-image --local {sha256|pattern}
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner scan-image --local log4shell:latest
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner scan-image --local 4949add9e671
# scan all local images
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner scan-image --local
You can also patch the image:
$ docker save log4shell > ./log4shell-image.tar
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner ./log4shell-image.tar
$ ./divd-2021-00038--log4j-scanner patch ./log4shell-image.tar
$ cat ./log4shell-image.tar.patch | docker load
Comparing both tars will give the following differences:
Binary files ../2/BOOT-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.14.1.jar and ./BOOT-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.14.1.jar differ
Binary files ../2/app/spring-boot-application.jar and ./app/spring-boot-application.jar differ
Binary files ../2/b0d66ac73d47865118cfb9a1244f1508d94ea938da1eb78c2db20bd2e1a6629a/layer.tar and ./b0d66ac73d47865118cfb9a1244f1508d94ea938da1eb78c2db20bd2e1a6629a/layer.tar differ
Only in ./org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup: JndiLookup.class
We've added preleminary support for recursively patching files. This is very experimental, be careful with this feature. Currently patching only works with the archive (jar / tar ) file. The patch will create a new `.patch`` file that needs to replace the original file. This is on purpose a manual process, as it needs to be timed with restarting services. Make sure you'll create a backup of the original file before replacing it. After patching you can scan again to make sure you didn't miss any files. Currently plain .class files in folders won't be patched, as they can be removed safe manually.
The .patch file will be exactly the same as the original file, without JndiLookup.class. This should be sufficient to mitigate this issue, while waiting for upgrades. Make sure to make backups and test thoroughly.
Patch will refuse to run on folders, as a precaution. Just point patch to the vulnerable archive.
