Key Features & Functionality
Hi, we have used this plugin in our application. In light of the recent discovery of vulnerabilities with log4j2, we would like to know if this plugin uses the affected version Log4j2, and if yes, would you release an updated version of this plugin to counter the exploit of vulnerability?
Guys... Appian support has confirmed that the vulnerability applies only to log4J 2.x and since this plugin 1.x it shouldn't be an issue.
Hi arjunvs, Could please let me know how you have determined that plugin is using older version of log4J? Based on my understanding java files in this plugin jar have import command , so it imports from the server. as long as your server is patched it should refer to latest patched version of log4j. is that not the case?
I have a client using this plugin and would require this update as soon as possible.
Hi, It appears that the plugin uses an older version of Log4J - 1.2.17. Can you please release a version of the plugin with the log4J plugin upgraded to 2.15? This is to counter the exploit of vulnerability due to - CVE-2021-44228
Has anyone come across the following error while opening a .docx file generated via ADT (DOCX Document From Template):
Unspecified error
Location: Part: /word/footer4.xml, line:0, column: 0
This error is only introduced after the doc is generated using ADT. The template being used works fine when opened using word.
Thank you!

I'd recommend not using this smart service, but instead using https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/dynamic-document-generator
to do conversion of docx > pdf. I don't believe this smart service is being actively updated.
As for what those options are doing, I looked in the code and I don't actually see them used at all.
