If the page contains Java code, the server is able to execute that code.<br \/>\nThis vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it provides a way to remotely execute code on any vulnerable server.<br \/>\nThe NCSC reacted quickly and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/news\/apache-log4j-vulnerability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issued a warning about this vulnerability<\/a>, as it affects a Java library used by thousands of companies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An-update-for-Log4j-is-available\"><\/span>An update for Log4j is available<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/issues.apache.org\/jira\/browse\/KAFKA-13534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A patch was hastily released<\/a> by the Apache Foundation over the weekend, but it needs to be installed by server owners. Some affected companies, such as Mojang, the publisher of Minecraft, have also posted several warnings on their respective websites, asking all server owners to apply the proposed update as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety-has-top-priority\"><\/span>Safety has top priority<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For FirstAttribute,<strong> data security is a high priority<\/strong>.
