Silent Partner Software - Response to Log4Shell exploit in Java (December 2021)

Our Product and Development teams have reviewed the Log4Shell exploit in Java (a logging tool used in many Java-based applications) that was disclosed on December 9, 2021. 

Currently, Silent Partner Software is not aware of any impact to the security of our software or services (including Sumac CRM, Partner DMS, Partner HR, My Board View, or Charity Advantage), nor have we experienced any degraded availability of those services as a result of this vulnerability. 

As our team, and the global technology industry continue researching for a deeper understanding of the Log4Shell exploit in Java, we will notify clients immediately should we detect any impact to our products or services.

Please reach out to our team at support@sumac.com should you have any further questions, and thank you for choosing Silent Partner Software.
