["Paul King (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul King updated GROOVY-10410:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Groovy doesn't bundle a version of Log4j in its distribution nor list it as a dependency in its pom (or bom), so isn't directly affected by CVE-2021-44228 (see https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html).

However Groovy users using the {{Log4j2}} AST transform (or using Log4j2 directly) may wish to update there version of Log4j or note the security workarounds mentioned in the above security vulnerability link.

See also: LOG4J2-3201, LOG4J2-3198.
