CVE-2026-105240

Description

Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character vulnerability in the OutputDebugStringAppender of Apache log4net.

A NUL character in logged content ended the debug output record at that point, so everything the layout rendered after it, including exception text and trailing fields, was silently lost. A party whose data reaches a log message could hide the rest of that record. Only applications on Windows that use OutputDebugStringAppender are affected.

This issue affects Apache log4net: from 1.2.9 before 3.5.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.5.0, which fixes the issue.
