SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr (GHSA-mjvf-4h88-6xm3)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417015

Description

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

- Improper Authentication vulnerability in Apache Solr. Solr instances using the PKIAuthenticationPlugin,
which is enabled by default when Solr Authentication is used, are vulnerable to Authentication bypass. A
fake ending at the end of any Solr API URL path, will allow requests to skip Authentication while
maintaining the API contract with the original URL Path. This fake ending looks like an unprotected API
path, however it is stripped off internally after authentication but before API routing. This issue
affects Apache Solr: from 5.3.0 before 8.11.4, from 9.0.0 before 9.7.0. Users are recommended to upgrade
to version 9.7.0, or 8.11.4, which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-45216)
