Plugin id:
	156002

Plugin Name:
	Apache Log4j < 2.15.0 Remote Code Execution

Severity:

Plugin Text:
	
	"<plugin_output>
	  Path              : C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter\SnapCenter Plugin for VMware\lib\log4j-1.2.17.jar
	  Installed version : 1.2.17
	  Fixed version     : 2.15.0
	</plugin_output>"


Description:
	"The version of Apache Log4j on the remote host is < 2.15.0. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the JDNI parser due to improper log validation. 
	An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. 

	Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number."


Solution:
	Upgrade to Apache Log4j version 2.15.0 or later, or apply the vendor mitigation.
