Square Online and Apache Security Vulnerabilities

Hi - does Square Online/Weebly/etc. make use of Apache's Log4j Java-based logging... or Apache Struts2, Apache Solr, Apache Druid, Apache Flink, etc.?  

Apache is pervasive in the web hosting world, so I would not be surprised if it does.

 

I trust you've seen reports in the news regarding a serious and easy-to-exploit security flaw in these Apache products, e.g. https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html

 

What is Square's position? Not applicable, or patches being deployed?

Thanks @tranguyen - I forgot to mention it also affects older versions of Logstash, which lots of systems use.

 

Even the British and American governments have put out warnings about this flaw:
