A recent vulnerability scan where i work identified both Log 4j and Apache TomCat vulnerabilities with our FME Server applications. I am currently running FME Server 2019.1, I know that particular version of FME does not utilize Log4j , but the files exist as a part of the installation.

 

Can we simply mitigate these vulnerabilities by removing the log4j and TomCat installation, or do we need to upgrade those install to a more current version? If we install newer versions of both log4j & TomCat will the FME Server 2019.1 application continue to function as expected?
