Pilz hardware not affected by "Log4Shell" vulnerability in software library Log4j Vulnerability is highly unlikely to be exploited in Pilz Software products

On December 10th, 2021, the BSI (the German Federal Office for Information Security) published a cyber security alert on the so-called "Log4Shell" vulnerability in the software library Log4j. Log4j is used in many Java applications. Pilz hardware components do not use Java and thus no log4j. Therefore, these components are not affected.Pilz Software products partially use log4j versions 2.0 to 2.14.1 (current vulnerability CVE-2021-44228). Analyses to date have shown that it is highly unlikely that the vulnerability can be exploited. If, contrary to expectations, there is a risk, we will publish a security advisory.

Danger clearly identified!

An extensive network of conveyors and lifts is used to transport products at fertiliser producer EuroChem's bulk cargo port in Antwerp. The interlinked element is a gigantic conveyor, which also operates as a sorting system. The challenge here is the rugged environment: the extremely dusty discharge points must be cleaned regularly, so the machine area must always be easily accessible to operators. Today, the safe radar system PSENradar ensures that safe, efficient workflows are guaranteed, even under these extreme (visibility) conditions.
