Hi Scott,

While we do include those files in the distribution of ArchivesSpace, they are not actually used by the application in production mode. They are part of our development dependencies used to enable file reloading while the application is running in development mode. In future distributions we will look at removing these so there isn’t any confusion or perceived risk. In short, I don’t think there is any risk in this case.

Hi folks

Two more CVEs have come to our attention which seem to affect log4j v1.2:

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-17571

and

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-4104

They seem to only come into play if you use the JMSAppender or the SocketAppender. We can only see log4j (on v2.7/v2.8) being used in the

./gems/gems/mizuno-0.6.11/lib/java/log4j-1.2.17.jar

But I can't see any properties associated with that to see if uses either of these.

Assume it's not a problem, but thought I'd flag it up in case.

Cheers

Scott

It uses JRuby

 I’m not sure who supports this now—HM?—, but I wanted to check about the Yale EAD exporter’s potential vulnerability.   It’s a plug-in but also has a stand alone application

Nope, older versions should be safe as well.

Are people on earlier versions of ArchivesSpace , e.g. 2.7.1 that use archivesspace’s internal solr vulnerable?

While ArchivesSpace itself might not be vulnerable, those who run an extrrnal Solr instance should be aware that it itself may be, see https://solr.apache.org/security.html#apache-solr-affected-by-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228 for more information and some possible workarounds.

There is a lot of buzz right now about the log4j exploit being used against Java applications. Does anyone know if ArchivesSpace is vulnerable to these exploits?
