My security analyst asked me if Ignition is affected by the Apache Log4j2 vulnerability identified this weekend. Can someone confirm or deny? We are running version 8.06. Thanks!!!

Apache Log4j2 \<=2.14.1 JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled.
