      Workaround

      1. Edit the <confluence-install-folder>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file
      2. Add these entries at the end of the file:
        log4j.logger.com.opensymphony.xwork2.ognl.SecurityMemberAccess=ERROR
        
      3. Save the file and restart your Confluence instance.

            [CONFSERVER-93210] 8.6.1 Confluence Spamming the application log with a warning message

            Hi All,

            I'm marking this one as closed as it's been fixed in a previous version of Confluence.

            I note some customers reporting the issue in other versions than Confluence 8.6.1. Upon reviewing all of these reports, the log message is similar, but different. The issue itself was problematic as it occurred on every page load, where as the other reports only occur on specific pages making specific calls mostly from plugins. With the other logs entries, the log pollution is much less.

            On that basis, I've closed out the ticket.

            Thanks,
