GitHub user stechio edited a comment on the discussion: log4j-script: what 
about security?

Thank you, @ppkarwasz, for the clear picture of the overall security 
assumptions backing the logging framework: so, to my understanding, log4j 
sensibly demarcates its own responsibility in the handling of log data 
(messages, string representation of parameters, thread contexts), whilst the 
safety of the execution environment and its resources is up to the 
administrators and application developers (trusted users) :thumbsup:

My doubts originated from the dated model used by other projects out there, 
which tends to put on the application level the burden of untrusted code, 
isolating extensions/plugins in some kind of sandbox, as a complement to the 
now-deprecated native java security manager.

(I don't have a particular use case to share, I was just contemplating the use 
of scripting to customize the logging configuration in a generic deployment 
scenario.)
