[ https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-451?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.i... ] Mark Symons commented on SLF4J-451: -----------------------------------

The vulnerability is actually not critical and not even severe. 

It is irrelevent whether the vulnerability is really neither critical nor severe.  The CVE states that it is. * That means that vulnerability scanning tools will report this. * Thus, managers will demand explanation. * Even worse, customers who follow [OWASP Component Analysis|https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Component_Analysis] recommendations (specifically, "Contractually require BOMs from vendors") will demand explanation.

org.slf4j.ext.EventData in the slf4j-ext module in QOS.CH SLF4J before 1.8.0-beta2 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
