Can someone confirm that Team Viewer is not impacted by CVE-2021-44228 in any fashion?

I cannot find any mention of the vulnerability anywhere on teamviewer.com.


Thanks.

    Hi @PSCSec,

    Thank you for bringing up this important security topic to us and we are sorry for the late response.


    Kindly check out the statement on TeamViewer Trust Centre:

    The third-party Java library Log4J2, which is widely used in the software industry, is subject to a critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2021-44228. For our potentially impacted services including TeamViewer IoT, TeamViewer Engage, and TeamViewer Frontline, we have deployed an immediate server-side hotfix. User action is not required.

    Other TeamViewer products are not impacted. Furthermore, we have diligently investigated our IT infrastructure and taken appropriate steps to mitigate any supply chain risks. TeamViewer will continue to monitor the situation closely.
