Critical vulnerability in log4j may affect generated PEAR projects

GHSA-j7c3-96rf-jrrp

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype 2.0.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact UIMA PEAR projects that have been generated with the de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype version 2.0.0 have a maven dependency with scope test to log4j 2.8.2 and might be affected by CVE-2021-44228. Patches - The issue has been resolved in de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype version 2.0.1. Please make sure to use de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype version = 2.0.1 for generating new PEAR projects. - Existing maven PEAR projects can be patched by manually upgrading to log4j = 2.16.0 in pom.xml.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-j7c3-96rf-jrrp

Advisory: Critical vulnerability in log4j may affect generated PEAR projects
IDs: GHSA-j7c3-96rf-jrrp
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-j7c3-96rf-jrrp (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:53 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype 2.0.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype: affected >= 2.0.0, <= 2.0.0; fixed in 2.0.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-j7c3-96rf-jrrp (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-j7c3-96rf-jrrp lists affected ranges: Maven de.averbis.textanalysis:pear-archetype >=2.0.0 <=2.0.0)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
