log4j-vulnerability-patcher-agent

This agent fixes critical vulnerability CVE-2021-44228 in log4j by patching JndiLookup class, as recommended here.

WARNING: this is not a substitute for proper upgrade to log4j 2.15.0, where this vulnerability was fixed for good. Use this agent IF, and ONLY IF, you can't upgrade log4j in your app.

Agent can run on JRE 8 and higher, in any application (including Minecraft clients and servers).

This will completely disable JNDI in log4j. If you need this functionality, do not use this agent.

How to use

  1. Download agent JAR or build it yourself
  2. Add command line argument -javaagent:/path/to/agent/log4j-vulnerability-patcher-agent.jar to the start command of your app

Example command line:

root@kitploit:~
java -javaagent:/home/user/log4j-vulnerability-patcher-agent.jar -Xmx1G spigot.jar

If everything is OK, on start agent will output .

[Log4jVulnerabilityPatcherAgent] JndiLookup was patched, vulnerability fixed!

root@kitploit:~
git clone https://github.com/saharNooby/log4j-vulnerability-patcher-agent.git
