Log4Shell
Log4j is a logging framework written in Java, distributed under the Apache License since 1996 that offers mechanisms to directly log information such as databases, files, consoles, syslogs etc.. It has three components (loggers, appenders and layouts), which are responsible for capturing log information, publishing that information and formatting it in different styles.
It's utilized in many software programs used today and with over 3 billion devices worldwide; which means the attack surface on a 0day from this framework is huge. It looks for patterns of information like , ${ENV:HOSTNAME}, and parses that information to enrich data.

CVE-2021-44228 is dangerous. The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) could be used to access resources it shouldn't and that means syntax could be executed the way it is in log files. Furthermore, this syntax could be used wherever data is logged by an application, which makes the scope of the damage currently unknown but critical.
