    Hi All,

    As per above, the advisory that I saw mentioned as not impacted.

    Can see below path:


    /opt/imperva/ragent/bin/java/lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar


    Due to legacy agent?
    #ImpervaAgent

    Hi MF S,

    I think this link should help...

    Imperva Documentation Portal - Log4j2 vulnerability - CVE-2021-44228

    Hi @Sarah Lamont

    This exactly what i saw previously....but seems inconsistent with the statement vs what we see in ragent folder


    On-Premises Agents - Log4j is not used

    Hi MF S,

    Thanks for coming back to me. The agents team gave me the following response:

    Big-Data agents have log4j as part of Java package, because we handle injection into java running apps.
    The log4j version is unaffected, and we don't use it for logging.
    Agent code is based on C/C++ and not Java.

    I hope this helps.
