Unused libraries will be removed with the next version
BlueRange uses support for Splunk (splunk-library-javalogging). The framework brings log4j-core in version < 2.15.0. However, BlueRange does not use the affected framework. Therefore, the reported vulnerability cannot be exploited in our system. Nevertheless, an optimization was performed on BlueRange, in which the unused library log4j-core is completely removed. The software update will be available with the next BlueRange Server version 5.8 next week at the latest. The new version of BlueRange will contain a multitude of functions as well as optimizations and improvements. For this reason, we recommend a prompt update to the current version after the release.
