mc-log4j-patcher

Replaces old (vulnerable - CVE-2021-44228) Log4j2 version with the latest one (2.15.0) that contains the JNDI RCE fix.
Tested on Spigot 1.12.2, PaperSpigot 1.8.8, PaperSpigot 1.17.1

This is intended to fix servers that are currently unsupported, such as PaperSpigot 1.8.8
Please check if your current server software has an official release fixing the vulnerability before using this tool.

Usage:
java -jar patcher.jar <old-server.jar> <fixed-server.jar>

Download patcher.jar

If you use PaperSpigot, then the "old-server.jar" file should be the one located at "cache/patched.jar" and not the paperclip.jar wrapper.
After the process finishes, you need to replace your old server jar with the "fixed-server.jar" one.

Example usage with PaperSpigot 1.17.1

root@kitploit:~
server$ java -jar patcher.jar cache/patched_1.17.1.jar server.jar
Input file  : cache/patched_1.17.1.jar
Output file : server.jar

And then to run the server:

root@kitploit:~
server$ java -jar server.jar nogui
System Info: Java 16 (Eclipse OpenJ9 VM openj9-0.27.0) Host: Linux 5.4.0-81-generic (amd64)
