CVE-2026-34479 is a vulnerability in the Apache Log4j 1-to-Log4j 2 bridge, specifically in the Log4j1XmlLayout implementation provided by the org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-1.2-api component. The layout fails to properly escape characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification when rendering log events as XML. As a result, log output can become malformed and non-conforming XML parsers will reject the affected documents with a fatal parsing error. The issue affects deployments that use Log4j1XmlLayout directly in a Log4j Core 2 configuration, as well as deployments using the Log4j 1 compatibility layer with the legacy XMLLayout class mapped through the bridge. Affected versions include 2.x releases from 2.7 before 2.25.4 and 3.x prerelease versions from 3.0.0-alpha1 through 3.0.0-beta2.
