Disabled test case reporting

Is there a way to disable test case status reporting for a disabled test case that is being called from other test cases?

I have a general test case that has all the possible test steps needed for the test, it is being called by the actual test cases and the setup has worked fine, but a couple of months ago disabled general test case started to be included in status reports.

My presumption is that it could have something to do with the log4j update a couple of months ago maybe? But is there a way to exclude disabled test cases from being reported or to ignore status of this specific test case?
