Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from using log4j
2.8.2 as a dependency, which contains the Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) vulnerability. The PEAR archetype itself does not contain vulnerable code functions - the risk comes from projects inheriting the vulnerable log4j
dependency through their pom.xml
. The actual vulnerable functions exist within log4j
's JNDI lookup features (e.g., JndiLookup
class), not in the pear-archetype
codebase. The fix involves updating the dependency version, not modifying application code. No specific functions in the pear-archetype
package were identified as vulnerable with high confidence.
