There is a lot of bad information out there about this issue. What I have gathered so far, is that this is actually a real problem, but it may not affect most configurations. This[0] seems to be the original vulnerability analysis, and this is the example vulnerable app[1]. The main issue seems to be, that since java 9, WebDataBinder can be abused to access the classloader via the "class.module.classloader", you might think that "class.classloader" would work, but it's explicitly filtered out[2], it seems they need to add some filtering for module, as well. The proof of concept, then access the "AccessLogValve" class via "class.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first", which is only accessible if the application is running using a "WeappClassLoaderBase", it then configures the logger, to output an arbitrary JSP file to the web
