Does my router have the Apache Log4j library vulnerability?

I have the Plusnet Hub One - does my router have the Apache Log4j library vulnerability?

Thanks

@buckwem Why should it have - a quick read of the first article I came across on Google makes no reference to hubs (from any manufacturer) being vulnerable, and only refers to cloud services, although, coming from Kaspersky, I would treat it with caution. Link:https://www.kaspersky.co.uk/blog/log4shell-critical-vulnerability-in-apache-log4j/23933/

Edit to add: As far as I know, Hubs/modem-routers do not employ Apache anyway.

No, it does not. It has no dependency on the Log4j libraries; nor does it run Java.

Thanks, @bobpullen - if the OP doesn't believe me, maybe they'll believe you.🙂
