Microsoft's security research teams have been tracking threats taking advantage of the remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Apache Log4j 2 referred to as “Log4Shell” and tracked as CVE-2021-44228. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution and is triggered when a specially crafted string provided by the attacker through a variety of different input vectors is parsed and processed by the Log4j 2 vulnerable component.

 

A new Microsoft Sentinel solution has been added to the Content Hub that provides content to monitor, detect and investigate signals related to exploitation of the recently disclosed Log4j vulnerability.
