SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-68r2-fwcg-qpm8)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420774

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Core creation allows users to replace "trusted" configset files with arbitrary configuration Solr
 instances that (1) use the "FileSystemConfigSetService" component (the default in "standalone" or "user-
 managed" mode), and (2) are running without authentication and authorization are vulnerable to a sort of
 privilege escalation wherein individual "trusted" configset files can be ignored in favor of potentially-
 untrusted replacements available elsewhere on the filesystem. These replacement config files are treated
 as "trusted" and can use "<lib>" tags to add to Solr's classpath, which an attacker might use to load
 malicious code as a searchComponent or other plugin. This issue affects all Apache Solr versions up
 through Solr 9.7. Users can protect against the vulnerability by enabling authentication and authorization
 on their Solr clusters or switching to SolrCloud (and away from "FileSystemConfigSetService"). Users are
 also recommended to upgrade to Solr 9.8.0, which mitigates this issue by disabling use of "<lib>" tags by
 default. (CVE-2025-24814)
