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

How could any hot-blooded male deny such a request under the circumstances.

The most actively maintained Haven and Hearth Wiki (Not guaranteed to be up-to-date with all w14 changes.)

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong) (I recommend you read it in it's entirety, but TL:;DR: Build a Palisade.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Tells you how to try and escape, and make it less likely to die when caught.)

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