Description

### Expected result

Check if Log4shell vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) impacts Kontent Java Packages.

### Additional context

In Apache Log4j2 versions up to and including 2.14.1 (excluding security release 2.12.2), the JNDI features used in configurations, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker-controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the project’s dependency and build configuration, then consult the linked Apache Log4j2 security advisory and CVE-2021-44228 resources. Done means determining whether Kontent Java Packages use an affected Log4j2 version and documenting the impact or required remediation.
