Log4j Vulnerability Detected Affecting Multiple Platforms and Devices
A critical flaw has been identified in Log4j, a Java library for logging error messages in applications. This exploit is currently the most high-profile security vulnerability on the internet and has been assessed a severity score of 10 out of 10 by the cybersecurity industry's rating system, known as Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
The library is developed by the open-source Apache Software Foundation and is a key Java-logging framework. A remote code execution (RCE) flaw in Log4j has already been exploited. Warnings have been issued by several national cybersecurity agencies including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
What Devices and Applications Are at Risk?

Cisco and VMware have released patches for their affected products.
AWS has detailed how the flaw impacts its services.

Progent provided a wireless networking environment that allowed a school to improve productivity and avoid the recurring costs of a dedicated data connection. Progent recommended a Proxim Tsunami wireless 60Mbps bridge. The low-cost building-to-building Proxim wireless bridge is intended for interfacing separate sites up to 2.5 miles apart and can extend to even longer distances. This wireless alternative provided better performance and reliability than simply amplifying the 802.11b wireless connection, and because it utilizes the 5.8Ghz band it provided immunity to outside interference.
