CVE-2020-9488
Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender.
LOW 3.7EPSS 8.10%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1
