Current versions of izzy-deployed applications were scanned for “log4j” .jar files to see if any of them had less than the recommended “2.16” version that patches the vulnerability mentioned here: Apache Log4j Vulnerability Guidance | CISA

We will be actively checking for new versions of these applications as they become available and will release them as soon as possible. Please be aware that only the latest versions of applications available via izzy were tested – so it should be presumed that any older versions of these applications have the same problem.
