SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-37vr-vmg4-jwpw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409381

Description

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

 - Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources, Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type,
 Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere vulnerability in Apache Solr.This issue affects
 Apache Solr: from 6.0.0 through 8.11.2, from 9.0.0 before 9.4.1. In the affected versions, Solr ConfigSets
 accepted Java jar and class files to be uploaded through the ConfigSets API. When backing up Solr
 Collections, these configSet files would be saved to disk when using the LocalFileSystemRepository (the
 default for backups). If the backup was saved to a directory that Solr uses in its ClassPath/ClassLoaders,
 then the jar and class files would be available to use with any ConfigSet, trusted or untrusted. When Solr
 is run in a secure way (Authorization enabled), as is strongly suggested, this vulnerability is limited to
 extending the Backup permissions with the ability to add libraries. Users are recommended to upgrade to
 version 8.11.3 or 9.4.1, which fix the issue. In these versions, the following protections have been
 added: * Users are no longer able to upload files to a configSet that could be executed via a Java
 ClassLoader. * The Backup API restricts saving backups to directories that are used in the ClassLoader.
 (CVE-2023-50386)
