Issue summary

The Druva Security and Engineering teams have analyzed the recently disclosed security vulnerabilities related to Apache Log4j2, which is a logging tool used in many Java-based applications. We have investigated and addressed any potential exposure within Druva products and backend services that might rely on the vulnerable version of Log4j2.

Please note that Druvadoes not natively use Log4j in the Druva Cloud. AWS and other third-party vendor-managed services that directly support our platform were patched by the respective vendors and the updates were promptly applied wherever applicable for CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046. We will continue to monitor the situation and implement additional remediations as appropriate.
