Upgrade the repository checker to include latest 3rd party security patches

[original title:] Is there any Security issues log4jshell V2.16.0 in hippo-addon-checker?

Is “hippo-addon-checker.jar” vulnerable to log4jshell V2.16.0 and if so how do we mitigate this problem?

You can see the client request here: 
"The add-on checker v.2.5.0 uses Log4J Core V2.16.0 that has vulnerabilities that can be found here:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core/2.16.0

Is there any possibility to update to version 2.17.1 at least preferably 2.17.2?"
