SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-2289-pqfq-6wx7)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423341

Description

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

- The 8.1.1 and 8.2.0 releases of Apache Solr contain an insecure setting for the ENABLE_REMOTE_JMX_OPTS
configuration option in the default solr.in.sh configuration file shipping with Solr. If you use the
default solr.in.sh file from the affected releases, then JMX monitoring will be enabled and exposed on
RMI_PORT (default=18983), without any authentication. If this port is opened for inbound traffic in your
firewall, then anyone with network access to your Solr nodes will be able to access JMX, which may in turn
allow them to upload malicious code for execution on the Solr server. (CVE-2019-12409)
