GHSA-w35j-pv5h-q9q9 Apache Log4j JSON Template Layout: Improper serialization of non-finite floating-point values in JsonTemplateLayout

• Maven org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-layout-template-json: >= 2.14.0, < 2.25.4 → fixed in 2.25.4 • Maven org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-layout-template-json: >= 3.0.0-alpha1, <= 3.0.0-beta3 (no fix yet)

Apache Log4j's `JsonTemplateLayout`, in versions up to and including 2.25.3, produces invalid JSON output when log events contain non-finite floating-point values (`NaN`, `Infinity`, or `-Infinity`), which are prohibited by RFC 8259. This may cause downstream log processing systems to reject or fail to index affected records. An attacker can exploit this issue only if both of the following conditions are met: • The application uses `JsonTemplateLayout`. • The application logs a `MapMessage` containing an attacker-controlled floating-point value. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j JSON Template Layout 2.25.4, which corrects this issue.
