Of course. The overall elastic view of the vulnerability can be found in [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apache-log4j2-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability-cve-2021-44228-esa-2021-31/291476?ultron=log4js-exploit&blade=announcement&hulk=email&mkt_tok=ODEzLU1BTS0zOTIAAAGBU8N1ZUOwzTcRbJCOiByHmeYiopMnarq-QPWBIyhPI3Vvsp6w-4q4PBbTGZ3fZ0sB75cpaUdOddA1k-6-yh3QwAicvJTgafdJWv_-9Cn2GoKLvsmt&utm_source=log4j+hub+blog&utm_medium=embed+link&utm_campaign=log4j_hub_blog&utm_id=log4j&utm_content=log4j2+advisory) blog post. I do not run elasticsearch, but I would start [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apache-log4j2-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability-cve-2021-44228-esa-2021-31/291476?ultron=log4js-exploit&blade=announcement&hulk=email&mkt_tok=ODEzLU1BTS0zOTIAAAGBU8N1ZUOwzTcRbJCOiByHmeYiopMnarq-QPWBIyhPI3Vvsp6w-4q4PBbTGZ3fZ0sB75cpaUdOddA1k-6-yh3QwAicvJTgafdJWv_-9Cn2GoKLvsmt&utm_source=log4j+hub+blog&utm_medium=embed+link&utm_campaign=log4j_hub_blog&utm_id=log4j&utm_content=log4j2+advisory#elasticsearch-announcement-esa-2021-31-29). There is a ton of detail about versions and configuration variations. If an upgrade is viable then I would certainly recommend it.
