Even if the client used log4j, what could that exploit do?
It's a problem for java-backed app/web servers, where user input may result in some shady calls from the server.

With haven client what could you do with it - if you type specific phrase you will make the client, ran locally on your pc, make some calls?

It’s arbitrary code exec. It would only be bad if something from chat or some such was logged

Thanks. Moving this thread to The Inn since it has no direct impact on Haven.
