Still Running Vulnerable Log4j Instances?
DevOps.com, Monday, June 30th, 2025
The Log4j exploit was discovered in December 2021, and by now, it should have been resolved. However, it persists.
According to IBM, Log4j vulnerabilities are actively tracked and exploited by attackers. A recent Forbes article highlighted that many organizations remain exposed. The reasons range from patching delays to unknown dependencies and, most commonly, a lack of visibility into what is actually running across their environments.
This ongoing risk points to a deeper issue - one that goes beyond a single vulnerability. It underscores the persistent challenge organizations face in identifying, prioritizing and eliminating deeply embedded threats, particularly those hidden within legacy systems or third-party components.
