Log4J security issue

Hi,

POI 5.1.0 uses Log4J 2 for logging. There has been an important new
release of Log4J - version 2.15.0 - to mitigate a security issue. The
POI team recommends that users upgrade their Log4J dependency to use
the 2.15.0 release.

https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html

https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/log4j-zero-day/

The lunasec blog includes details of a 'temporary' setting you can use
to mitigate the issue (if you can't upgrade to log4j v2.15.0 yet).

Regards,
PJ

POI 5.1.0 and XMLBeans 5.0.2 (the latest releases of both) have dependencies on log4j-api 2.14.1. The security vulnerabilities are not in log4j-api - they are in log4j-core.

If any POI or XMLBeans user uses log4j-core to control their logging of their application, we strongly recommend that they upgrade to all their log4j dependencies to the latest version (currently v2.16.0) - including log4j-api.
