solr-core is vulnerable to Improper Authentication
91
Critical Risk
This Affects:
solr-coreTL;DR
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to improper authentication due to insecure code in the PKIAuthenticationPlugin and HttpSolrCall classes. An attacker can bypass the authentication process by appending a fake ending to the URL path. Although the path appears to be an unprotected API endpoint, it is internally stripped off after authentication and before API routing, allowing unauthorized access.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

solr-core is vulnerable to Improper Authentication in versions 5.3.0 - 8.11.4 and 9.0.0 - 9.6.1.
How to fix this
Upgrade the org.apache.solr:solr-core library to a patch version.
