Editing EPrints and Log4Shell (section)

== Potential vulnerability with Coversheets/OpenOffice Bazaar plugins ==
There is one case where Log4j will be required to support EPrints functionality and this is to provide coversheeting of PDF documents.  This is due to Log4j being a dependency of OpenOffice (or LibreOffice), which is used by EPrints to convert your coversheet template into a PDF, which can be attached to the original PDF.  

OpenOffice/LibreOffice will run as as a service on its own TCP port your server, so EPrints can connect to it and request the coversheet template be converted.  If OpenOffice/LibreOffice's TCP port is accessible beyond your server, then there is a small chance this could be exploited by Log4Shell.  Your organisation's firewall would likely block access to this TCP port beyond your organisation's network.  However, to be extra secure, it is worth considering blocking remote access to this TCP port on your server's own firewall.
