I'm fixing this on my work servers as we type. Some of my systems they don't even have fixes for....yet.

Ahh, but did you check the data exfilteration functions of the TrunkMonkey beta app?

Yes. TrunkMonkey went Silver long ago, and is in use in several applications, mainly classic Buick, Street Rod, and drag racing forums.

My manager woke me up at 7:30 am Saturday to get on it.

I assume this is the same as the log 4 shell one from a few days ago?

Log4shell is what they've taken to calling the exploit, which occurs in the Log4j library.

While Java certainly has its history of security vulnerabilities, blaming Java for an exploit in a third-party library seems a little iffy.

You're in bed at 7:30AM? That's the best part of the day wasted.

Yep, our third party timekeeping system at work went down on Monday, being told it’s going to be a while before it’s back. In the mean time we’re back to spreadsheet tracking of our team member’s time.

Oh. Because it includes the UniFi network management cruft, I'm guessing?

Yep got called at midnight Saturday to make an assessment. Luckily we were not greatly impacted by this in our work unit.

Yeah, at the root screen there's a way to click into Network, and a way to click into Protect. I mean. Usually.... When AWS isn't down. Which it is. And thus I cannot do yet another upgrade that is needed. Now to 6.5.55. I did 6.5.54 yesterday.
