Why you may already be at risk, how to detect and mitigate the Log4j vulnerabilities now, and how to improve your code security in the future.

There are 17,000 unpatched Log4j packages in the Maven Central ecosystem, leaving massive supply-chain risk on the table from Log4Shell exploits.

Even worse, in the case of Log4j, it may be extremely hard for even security professionals to understand whether this code is part of their applications and thus a potential risk.
