I solved my problem using the "%replace(){}" pattern. The OWASP logging is not an option for me because it makes certain assumptions that are not true in my case - for instance it assumes that the log entry separator is a new line, and in my case it is not. Also it forces the usage of its "security layout", but I want to continue to use my pattern layout. Just for reference if someone faces the same issue and the %replace pattern is not enough for his usecase - the CompositeConverter is the way to go if one needs to decorate an existing converter and hence improve, modify or extend its behaviour.

Hello,
Hi,
What's the recommended way to protect against log forging attacks with logback (using pattern layout) ? Is there a way to specify a set of reserved characters and tell logback to escape them ?
You may want to have a look at the OWASP security logging project: https://github.com/javabeanz/owasp-security-logging/tree/master/owasp -s ecurity-logging-logback
With kind regards thomas
