A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Apache Log4j < 2.16.0 due to insufficient protections on message lookup substitutions when dealing with user controlled input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can explolit this, via a web request to execute arbitrary code with the permission level of the running Java process.
Note that this bypass requires a non-default configuration. Only Pattern Layouts with a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) are vulnerable to this.
This plugin requires that both the scanner and target machine have internet access.
