Think Log4j is a wrap? Think again.

Three years after discovery, Log4Shell (Log4j) remains a widely exploited RCE vulnerability: Cato Networks reports a 61% increase in attempted inbound exploitation and a 79% increase in WAN-bound traffic, and the article explains that deep Java integration, nested/outdated dependencies, and lacking SBOMs sustain its prevalence. The piece recommends mitigations including inventorying dependencies via SBOMs, virtual patching, integrating vulnerability scanning into CI/CD, binary analysis as a final check, and leveraging AI to accelerate remediation and reduce developer toil.
