Exigen Connector release notes

21

21.0.0

Released: 2022

What's new

✳️ CONNUTIL-522: Removed log4j as the logging component and replaced it with slf4j and logback to address CVE-2021-44228.

Why this matters

Removing log4j eliminates exposure to CVE-2021-44228, a critical remote code execution vulnerability. The connector now uses slf4j and logback for logging, which are not affected by this vulnerability.

Migration notes

  • This release uses a new installer format. Extract the files from the zip file into the desired directory.
  • The connector includes an embedded Java environment, eliminating any dependency on Java versions installed on the host system.
  • The configuration file has been renamed from Agent.config to Connector.config. Update any references to the configuration file path after upgrading.
