> [CVE-2021-42550|https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-42550] is present in Logback versions 1.2.7 and earlier. Maven uses v 1.2.1. Please update to Logback 1.2.9, which includes a fix as per [https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1591|[https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1591].]
> I see ch.qos.logback 1.2.1 in {{./pom.xml}} and ch.qos.logback without a version specified in {{./maven-embedder/pom.xml}}
> But I'm no expert on this code base so it's possible there are other versioned references.
> Edit: One could argue, as the Logback team has done, that the CVE is unimportant since in order to exploit it one must already have compromised the system. However, security scanners pick this up as an issue, causing unnecessary work and justifications.
