## Mitigation 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.
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.
- 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

This option could cause operational impacts and limit

- **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.

- 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.
