>Just yesterday, a lead product manager was arguing with security folks about why his service needs to be patched for log4j vuln if its not internet facing. He had trouble fathoming that even though his service is not internet facing, it processes and logs user controlled data.

I got a lot of good mileage out of explaining the Equifax Struts vulnerability, which allowed attackers to move freely through Equifax internally once outer security was breached because internal security controls, especially around patching, were so weak. Might be worth trying if you encounter the same situation again.
