Please also review https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-62838 where you can see the progress of a version 2 implementation for Log4j within Atlassian products.
As of today, version 2 is not available but a special patched version of Log4j is used with Jira, for example.

There are 2 log4j-core-2.x libraries in Bitbucket 7.18. One is app/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.14.1.jar and the other is elasticseach/lib/log4j-core-2.11.1.jar and  JNDILookup.class in them.

Does anyone knows if Bitbucket is not affected for CVE-2021-45046 or not?

Based on the previous responses that on-prem versions of Jira/Confluenc/etc. use a forked version of log4j1 then they should be clear of CVE-2021-45046 also, as per the apache log4j security page: "Log4j 1.x mitigation: Log4j 1.x is not impacted by this vulnerability."
