Alert: DocuSign update on Log4j2 vulnerability

12/17/2021

[UPDATED: December 27, 2021] 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 27, 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 December 17.

DocuSign has engaged critical suppliers for a comprehensive risk assessment and will work with our suppliers to confirm 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 or require of suppliers additional remediation actions as appropriate. 

As of December 27, DocuSign can confirm that the following services have been addressed and are not vulnerable to Log4j2.  This is an ongoing product security incident and product status can change as more information becomes available.

DocuSign would like to re-emphasize the severity of the Log4j vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-45105  and CVE-2021-4104), whereby the remote code execution zero days (CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046) allow malicious actors to craft a payload that can trigger the execution of arbitrary code on application servers. DocuSign is responding accordingly and DocuSign teams have active plans to remediate CVE-2021-4104 and CVE-2021-45105 in alignment with established internal processes. We will continue to monitor threat intelligence for further prioritization as information becomes available. The Log4j library is used extensively in Java-based solutions industry-wide and are not limited to DocuSign services.
