An image of a road, captured from the last shot of Terminator 2. Overlaid on the image is faux-HTML enclosed in a "Sarah Connor" tag. The content of the tag reads: August 9th, 2015. The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it - for the first time - with a sense of hope. Because if the Apache Solr developers    - after eight years of public releases - can learn the value of building authentication into their platform... ...maybe anyone else can too.

I was kind of shocked by a discovery earlier this week. If you are using #BurpSuite and depending on the Active Scan++ extension to test for the #Log4Shell vulnerability, it hasn't been doing that since July, even though the BApp Store page still claims it does.
Active Scan++ entry in the BApp Store claiming it tests for Log4Shell. GitHub commit for Active Scan++ in July 2023 where the Log4Shell check was commented out.
