I upgraded my CommServ to 11_20_85 and I read that this would remediate the log4j vulnerability. So I had the IA folks rescan the server and it came back hot and this is the path they sited. E:\ProgramFiles\Commvault\ContentStore\CVCIEngine\CvPreviewHome\webapps\CvContentPreviewGenApp\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.17.jar - they are advising to upgrade to a version of Apache Log4j

Please take a look at this thread:

CVE-2021-4104: The Commvault software does not use the JMSAppender module and, therefore, the vulnerability about log4j 1.x versions does not affect any Commvault products.

Out of curiosity can this jar file be deleted.

@Will Patrick , I wouldn't delete anything.  We likely use it for valid purposes, just not the vulnerable aspect/portion.
