Hello all, I am very happy to announce the immediate availability of reload4j version 1.2.22. It is intended as a drop-in replacement for log4j version 1.2.17. By drop in, we mean the replacement of log4j.jar with reload4j.jar in your build with no source code changes in .java files being necessary. Release 1.2.22 fixes a *newly* discovered XXE vulnerability in Chainsaw. Please refer to the release notes for more information about changes in reload4j versions. https://reload4j.qos.ch/news.html Reload4j was built using Java 8 but targets Java 1.5. As both log4j 1.x and reload4j do *not* offer a message lookup mechanism, they did not suffer from the notorious log4shell vulnerability. Reload4j has the following Maven coordinates: <dependency> <groupId>ch.qos.reload4j</groupId> <artifactId>reload4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.22</version> </dependency> Project web-site: https://reload4j.qos.ch/ Source repository: https://github.com/qos-ch/reload4j Donations and sponsorship You can also support SLF4J/logback/reload4j projects via donations and sponsorship.
