[UPDATED: December 17, 2021, 5:19 PM PST] DocuSign has been actively working on assessing risk and treating affected assets since the vulnerability was initially disclosed on the morning of December 9.

As of December 17, DocuSign continues to observe no indicators of compromise in our environment from Log4j2. DocuSign has previously deployed and continues to enhance countermeasures consistent with recently published CISA guidance to provide layers of protection and increased situational awareness through regular monitoring and blocking of suspicious activity.  As a federal contractor, we are also complying with Emergency Directive 22-02 released on 12/17.

DocuSign has engaged all of our suppliers for a comprehensive risk assessment and will work with our suppliers to ensure they have mitigations in place and are updating their software or services to remediate this issue. As this situation continues to evolve, we will implement additional remediation actions as appropriate.

DocuSign would like to re-emphasize the severity of the Log4j vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-4104), whereby the zero day allows malicious actors to craft a payload that can trigger the execution of arbitrary code on application servers, and DocuSign is responding accordingly. The Log4j library is used extensively in Java-based solutions industry-wide and not limited to DocuSign Services.

We encourage you to perform an assessment of your specific endpoint implementations for use of the Log4j service, including third-party services. This CISA article provides more detail into the issue.
