Hi Tony and Java maintainers team,

The following vulnerability was published for logback.

I'm not certain that is affecting the older version we have, please
check ideally provide back if you find where the issue has been
introduced. OTOH the issue might be considered minor? If you can
isolate the fixing commit from 1.5.25 that would be great.

CVE-2026-1225[0]:
| ACE vulnerability in configuration file processing  by QOS.CH
| logback-core up to and including version 1.5.24 in Java
| applications, allows an attacker to instantiate classes already
| present on the class path by compromising an existing logback
| configuration file.     The instantiation of a potentially malicious
| Java class requires that said class is present on the user's class-
| path. In addition, the attacker must  have write access to a
| configuration file. However, after successful instantiation, the
| instance is very likely to be discarded with no further ado.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
