Log4J Examples in the Wild

Using my honeypot server, I’ve been able to capture some examples of Log4J attempts against it. What this is showing is that the ModSecurity rules in place, at least in this subset of anecdotal examples, are able to block the various attempts, up to this point.

Log4J, Apache and ModSecurity

(I’ll be updating this post as more rules are available to stop new vulnerabilities.)

Credit to Christian Folini at coreruleset.org for providing the rule.

A major vulnerability has been discovered in Java web apps basic logging function called Log4J/Log4Shell. The best remedy for this is to update Log4j itself, or update the web app platform running Log4j with a newer version provided by the vendor. But that may take a while in many instances to fully implement.
