log4j Version 1.2 is definitely *NOT* OK to use.

The Apache website https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/ says:
"On August 5, 2015 the Logging Services Project Management Committee
  announced that Log4j 1.x had reached end of life."

There is already an unpatched CVE from 2019 for log4j 1.2.

It's really time to upgrade.

Kind regards,
   Steve
