  • Touchstone Platform updates to address the Apache Log4j library security vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-45105) Dec 21, 2021
    • With respect to the Apache Logj4 Log4Shell security vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046) and uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups (CVE-2021-45105) issues impacting applications using the Apache Log4j library the Touchstone team wanted to share the impacts to the Touchstone Platform and address any community concerns.
      • The Touchstone Platform and Validator services are not impacted by the Apache Logj4 issues
      • New Touchstone IDE version 1.4.1 Release - The Touchstone IDE currently uses the 1.2.x version of Logj4. As such the IDE is not affected by the recently reported security vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-45105). After additional analysis and research, the Eclipse based IDE does not support the Apache Logj4 2.x plugin and as such is not vulnerable to the current security issues. This release addresses the known vulnerabilities in the Eclipse Apache Logj4 1.2.x plugin by removing the impacted classes from the Java library. With this release the Touchstone IDE will not be vulnerable to any known security issues. Users are strongly encouraged to download and install the 1.4.1 release at their earliest convenience.
      • New WildFHIR Application Releases - The previous versions of the WildFHIR (FHIR RI) applications all used the 1.2.x version of the Apache Logj4 library. As such WildFHIR was not affected by the recently reported security vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-45105). However, this old version of Logj4 is still vulnerable to other RCE attacks and has been upgraded to the latest Logj4 2.17.0 version to mitigate against these vulerabilities.
