Apache Log4J 1 To Log4J 2 Bridge
Monthly
Log4j1XmlLayout in Apache Log4j 1-to-Log4j 2 bridge fails to escape XML 1.0-forbidden characters, causing malformed XML output that conforming XML parsers reject with fatal errors. This impacts downstream log processing systems that may drop or fail to index affected log records, affecting organizations using either Log4j1XmlLayout directly in Log4j Core 2 configurations or the deprecated Log4j 1 compatibility layer with XMLLayout. While no active exploitation has been confirmed, the vulnerability has a notable EPSS score and affects information disclosure integrity. Vendor-released patch version 2.25.4 is available.
