An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when the message lookup substitution is enabled. This vulnerability is also known as “Log4Shell”.

Additionally, an environment variable can be set for these all the affected versions:

LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true

3) Alternatively, the JndiLookup class can be removed with the help of similar command as below:

zip -q -d log4j-core-*.jar org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class to remove the class from the log4j-core.
