## Mitigation Guidance ##
CISA urges organizations operating products marked as "Fixed" to immediately
implement listed patches/mitigations [here](https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/apache-log4j-vulnerability-guidance).
When updates are available, agencies must update software using Log4j to the newest version, which is the most effective and manageable long-term option. Where updating is not possible, the following mitigating measures can be considered as a temporary solution and apply to the entire solution stack.
CISA urges organizations operating products marked as "Not Fixed" to immediately
implement alternate controls, including:
- Disable Log4j library. Disabling software using the Log4j library is an effective measure, favoring controlled downtime over adversary-caused issues. This option could cause operational impacts and limit visibility into other issues.
- Disable JNDI lookups or disable remote codebases. This option, while effective, may involve developer work and could impact functionality.
- Disconnect affected stacks. Solution stacks not connected to agency networks pose a dramatically lower risk from attack. Consider temporarily disconnecting the stack from agency networks.
- Isolate the system. Create a “vulnerable network” VLAN and segment the solution stack from the rest of the enterprise network.
- Deploy a properly configured Web Application Firewall (WAF) in front of the solution stack. Deploying a WAF is an important, but incomplete, solution. While threat actors will be able to bypass this mitigation, the reduction in alerting will allow an agency SOC to focus on a smaller set of alerts.
- Apply micropatch. There are several micropatches available. They are not a part of the official update but may limit agency risk.
- Install a WAF with rules that automatically update.
- Set `log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups` to true by adding `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=True`
to the Java Virtual Machine command for starting your application.
- Ensure that any alerts from a vulnerable device are immediately actioned.
- Report incidents promptly to CISA and/or the FBI [here](https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/report).
