SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-gg7w-pw2r-x2cq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415108

Description

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

- Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Solr. The Solr Metrics
API publishes all unprotected environment variables available to each Apache Solr instance. Users are able
to specify which environment variables to hide, however, the default list is designed to work for known
secret Java system properties. Environment variables cannot be strictly defined in Solr, like Java system
properties can be, and may be set for the entire host, unlike Java system properties which are set per-
Java-proccess. The Solr Metrics API is protected by the "metrics-read" permission. Therefore, Solr Clouds
with Authorization setup will only be vulnerable via users with the "metrics-read" permission. This issue
affects Apache Solr: from 9.0.0 before 9.3.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.3.0 or later,
in which environment variables are not published via the Metrics API. (CVE-2023-50290)
