OMNITRACKER is not affected by the Java vulnerability “Log4Shell” (CVE-2021-44228)

On 11/12/2021, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) identified a security vulnerability in Java®-based applications and declared an extremely critical threat level “Warnstufe Rot = Warning Level Red”.

OMNITRACKER is not a Java-based application. An exploitation of the vulnerability listed in CVE-2021-44228 in connection with the log4j library is excluded with the OMNITRACKER standard installation according to current knowledge.

Of course, we are still in contact with the vendors and manufacturers of third-party products.
