ElasticSearch upgraded version against Log4j

You have two main upgraded versions your need to look at, version 6 and version 7. The version depends on your current installation and the Magento 2 version.

If you have ElasticSearch 6 you need to have at least version 6.8.21 to avoid the vulnerability.

If you have ElasticSearch 7 you need to have at least version 7.16.1 to avoid the vulnerability.

Both versions will include these technical adjustments below.

  • Disable JNDI lookups via the log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups system property.
  • Patch log4j jar to remove the JndiLookup class from the classpath.
