According to BSI, the vulnerability Log4Shell represents the greatest danger for the operators of servers and data centers. If the Java program Log4j is also carried out on private computers, but consumers can also be affected.

If software and IT manufacturers provide updates for programs or operating systems, they should be installed immediately, the Federal Office advises.
