I was also told by TAC "NIOS 8.3.X and above versions are not affected by CVE-2021-44228 as the NIOS Web GUI does not use log4j libraries for logging", but agree an official response on this page would have saved me the TAC case...

Has anyone heard about older releases?  The official relase state 8.4 as expected since that is the oldest still supported, but wonderinghow far back that goes... If Log4j is not used for logging in any NIOS, that would be good to know...
