Hey Bigjoe910 & leksikon - thanks for your patience while we conducted a thorough review of services and components across all Dropbox products.
We have hardened all instances of log4j that were identified on HelloSign and Dropbox-owned platforms by applying a patch or taking other appropriate action. Like many other service providers, we continue to work with our vendors to assess impact and remediation efforts. Our systems are functioning normally and we are not aware of any active threat.
I hope this information helps!

Hi,
Do you have any update? Could you please confirm how does this affect Dropbox and/or if it has already been mitigated?
Thank you and I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards,

As mentioned, we conducted a thorough review of services and components across all Dropbox products.
We hardened all instances of log4j that were identified on Dropbox-owned platforms by applying a patch or taking other appropriate action. Our systems are functioning normally, and we have no evidence that this vulnerability was exploited.
We will continue to work with our vendors to assess the impact and remediation efforts.
So far, our vendors were either not vulnerable or had taken appropriate action. We have not seen any evidence of exploitation at our vendors. We’re still following up with a few vendors, like many other companies.
I hope this clarifies!

Howdy, friends!
As a follow-up to the Log4j vulnerability, our IT Security team is asking for the following specifics:- Confirmation that Dropbox is no longer vulnerable (which is already available here in this discussion)
- The vulnerable version Dropbox was using
- The latest version Dropbox patched to (with dates)
Any insight anyone can share is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
