Are We Affected By the Log4j vulnerability?

Are BrightSign players affected by the Log4j Java vulnerability? I haven't seen any press releases or specifically naming BrightSign. Any insight would be appreciated.

    The answer is No unless

    • You have additional resources around your BrightSIgn solution that are subject to the vulnerability
    • You or your developer has specifically requested, installed, and implemented a solution around the JRE firmware extension.
      This is extremely uncommon and requires deliberate work to implement, it's not just a setting change or even offered via an automated means.

    I believe the answer is no unless you develop an external app that is accessed by the players that has the vulnerability.

    As Allen has pointed out, if you have implemented additional supporting systems, web servers, applications, etc, then those may be affected but that's outside of the BrightSign domain.
