| 10 | +Executive Summary: Important Things to Note for this Release |
| 11 | +------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This is a minor release. It's main purpose was to update dependencies to eliminate potential vulnerabilities arising from dependencies with known CVEs. See the section "Changes requiring special attention" below for additional details. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Also special props to Bill Sempf for stepping up and volunteering to prepare the initial cut of these release notes. Had he not done so, this release either would not have release notes or it would have been delayed another 6 months while I procrastinated further with various distractions. (Squirrel!) |

| 50 | +538 Addressing log4j 1.x CVE-2019-17571 |
| 51 | +552 Rewrite implementation of some ESAPI classes to remove Java 8 dependencies |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + Changes requiring special attention |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 58 | +The new default ESAPI logger is JUL (java.util.logging packages) and we have deprecated the use of Log4j 1.x as it is way past the end-of-life and we now support SLF4J. We did not want to make SLF4J the default logger (at least not yet) as we did not want to have the default ESAPI use require additional dependencies. However, SLF4J is likely to be the future choice, at least once we start on EsAPI 3.0. A special shout-out to Jeremiah Stacey for making this possible by re-factoring much of the ESAPI logger code. Note, the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back was the announcement of CVE-2019-17571 (rated Critical), for which there is no fix available and likely will never be. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Related to that CVE and how it affects ESAPI, be sure to read |
| 61 | + https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy/blob/develop/documentation/ESAPI-security-bulletin2.pdf |
| 62 | +which describes CVE-2019-17571, a deserialization vulnerability in Log4j 1.2.17. ESAPI is not affected by this (even if you chose to use Log4j 1 as you default ESAPI logger). This security bulletin describes why this CVE is not exploitable as used by ESAPI. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Notable dependency updates (excludes those only used with JUnit tests): |
| 65 | + antiSamy 1.5.8 -> 1.5.10 |
| 66 | + batik-css 1.11 -> 1.13 |
| 67 | + commons-beansutil 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4 |
| 68 | + slf4j-api 1.7.26 -> 1.7.30 |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Finally, while ESAPI still supports JDK 7 (even though that too is way past end-of-life), the next ESAPI release will move to JDK 8 as the minimal baseline. (We already use Java 8 for development but still to Java 7 source and runtime compatiblity.) |
