Problem
Together with a customer, we figured out a crash of the CVE-2021-44228 Log4j Checkmk from the Checkmk Exchange Site: https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/cve-2021-44228-log4j
The problem seems to be the incomplete agent output:
<<<cve_2021_44228_log4j:sep(0):cached(1640096053,86400)>>> 2021-12-21T15:14:13+01:00 SCAN OPTIONS: --all-drives <<<>>>
Solution
Let's debug this further on the Windows machine:
The Powershell script returns only the incomplete output. That's why we need to execute the log4j2-scan.exe
