Severity: grave

texlive-extra-utils contains arara (https://github.com/islandoftex/arara)
which was updated two days ago via TeX Live (https://www.tug.org/texlive/)
which was updated slightly after that. Please update to the newest TeX Live
ASAP, as arara in unstable and testing (also stable?) currently bundles a
vulnerable apache-log4j2 version.

The alternative would be to remove the JndiLookup.class file from the
relevant .jar - This causes a warning but otherwise doesn't affect
execution and seems to properly avoid the vulnerabilities in CVE-2021-45046
and CVE-2021-44228
