CVE-2026-1225Malicious logback.xml configuration file allows instantiation of arbitrary classes

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects QOS.CH Sarl Logback-core. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

ACE vulnerability in configuration file processing by QOS.CH logback-core up to and including version 1.5.24 in Java applications, allows an attacker to instantiate classes already present on the class path by compromising an existing logback configuration file. The instantiation of a potentially malicious Java class requires that said class is present on the user's class-path. In addition, the attacker must have write access to a configuration file. However, after successful instantiation, the instance is very likely to be discarded with no further ado.
