The
org.slf4j.ext.EventData
class was a primitive equivalent of Log4j'sStructuredDataMessage
. QOS.CH published CVE-2018-8088 against this class and removed it fromslf4j-ext
version 1.7.26.For a long time we kept support code to convert
EventData
to its Log4j equivalent for compatibility's sake: users that relied on this class could still use Log4j Core, but the functionality was automatically disabled once they upgradedslf4j-ext
.Since 5 years passed since
slfj4-ext
1.7.26 was published, we can safely assume that all the users upgraded the library and the support code can be removed.
