It allows Cyber ​​criminals according to BSI to make entries on a destination server and thus execute damage or even to take over the whole system.

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.

But: Even if not, users can balance damage by stolen their data, exercising important services or infected their systems, warns the BSI.

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