This LIVE demo walks you through scenarios of the Log4Shell exploit in the log4j2 core library as well as the mitigation steps to upgrade the log4j-core dependency to resolve the vulnerability in your application.
The attack illustration demonstrates how un-sanitized input is sent to the application and how the malicious LDAP server redirects the requests to a web server hosting the exploit code and how the malicious code gets injected to exploit the vulnerable app with a callback that sends private information to the attacker-controlled server.
Later in the video, we also demonstrate how to update the dependency version in your pom file to mitigate the issue.
