Log4JS File & Vulnerability Scanner + Local Port Bind Scanner

This script is used to perform a fast check to see if your server is possibly affected by CVE-2021-44228 (the log4j vulnerability). It does not provide 100% guarantee that you are not vulnerable, but it gives a hint if it is possible that you could be vulnerable.

Features:

  • Updates apt repositories "sudo apt-get update -y" (Disabled, Uncomment if needed)
  • Installs Script Dependencies "sudo apt-get install lsof unzip locate mlocate -y" (Disabled, Uncomment if needed)
  • Updates local locate file index database "sudo updatedb"
  • Uses 'find & locate' to scan for occurrences of Java, Elastics, Solr files
  • Uses 'lsof' to list all ports in a LISTEN state
  • Scans files for occurrences of log4j
  • Checks for packages containing log4j and Solr ElasticSearch
  • Checks if Java is installed
  • Analyzes JAR/WAR/EAR files
  • Option of checking hashes of .class files in archives
  • No system changes happen except for a temp folder which removes it self after script execution

Notes:

  • Currently only tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but should work on most Debian\Ubuntu based distributions.
  • Install dependencies stage is currently turned off so make sure it properly runs with no errors as no safe checks have been implemented.
