SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api (GHSA-987p-r3jc-8c8v)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 434260

Description

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

- XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 4.5.1 to before 15.10.13, from 16.0.0-rc-1 to
before 16.4.4, and from 16.5.0-rc-1 to before 16.8.0-rc-1, the Solr script service doesn't take dropped
programming rights into account. The Solr script service that is accessible in XWiki's scripting API
normally requires programming rights to be called. Due to using the wrong API for checking rights, it
doesn't take the fact into account that programming rights might have been dropped by calling
`$xcontext.dropPermissions()`. If some code relies on this for the safety of executing Velocity code with
the wrong author context, this could allow a user with script rights to either cause a high load by
indexing documents or to temporarily remove documents from the search index. This issue has been patched
in versions 15.10.13, 16.4.4, and 16.8.0-rc-1. (CVE-2025-32971)
