Mark Symons commented on SLF4J-451:
-----------------------------------

> The vulnerability is actually not critical and not even severe. 

It is irrelevent whether the vulnerability is really neither critical nor severe.  The CVE states that it is.
 * That means that vulnerability scanning tools will report this.
 * Thus, managers will demand explanation.
 * Even worse, customers who follow [OWASP Component Analysis|https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Component_Analysis] recommendations (specifically, "Contractually require BOMs from vendors") will demand explanation.
