C:\Program Files\CA\SC\Mdb\Windows\lib\log4j-1.2.13.jar

are flagged as vulnerable by security scanners due to being old versions of Log4j.

Opened DE64413 to have L2 update this file.

RU16 updated the vast majority of the old log4j-1.x files, but the 3 files above remained.

L2 has advised that these files will be updated in the next RU patch (RU17)

In the mean time, the above files can be deleted/moved.
