The Apache Log4j hotpatch package before log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch-1.1-13 didn’t mimic the permissions of the JVM being patched, allowing it to escalate privileges.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
