  • All Aternos servers are automatically protected.

    Quote from Matthias

    There is a serious exploit in several Java based server softwares. We've added a command line parameter to all Java servers that prevents your server from being exploited and we are also (as always) updating every server software automatically which already includes permanent fixes.

    In addition to the previous fixes, we have now added log4j configuration files to all server softwares according to Mojang's recommendation. This completely disables the problematic feature in all versions. The exploit only works to its full extent in older Java versions and we only use newer updated Java versions. There was never a high risk for your server and we have taken every possible step to ensure your security.
