    Description

      As of log4j2 2.16+, jndi based lookups are now by default disabled.
      The most common usage thereof, for brXM, is specifically the lookup of the logging/contextName to filter log events for specific contexts, like with:

      <LookupFilter key="jndi:logging/contextName" value="cms" onMatch="ACCEPT"/>

      This specific jndi lookup is not a security vulnerability however, so to cater for log4j2 2.16+ with now default disabled jndi lookup,
      a custom (fixed) workaround has been implemented which only intercepts a filter key="jndi:logging/contextName" and then do the jndi lookup directly, not via log4j2.
