It sounds utterly chaotic, doesn't it? During the holiday season, specifically on Thursday, December 9th, The Apache Software Foundation disclosed information about a critical vulnerability found in Log4j, a widely used logging library in numerous Java applications. Malicious actors wasted no time in exploiting this flaw, labeled "Log4Shell," which received a perfect 10 out of 10 rating on the CVSS vulnerability scale. An application susceptible to this vulnerability could be compromised, enabling remote code execution (RCE) on the underlying servers.},
