The most important feature of any software running today is that it can be run at all. Security vulnerabilities can preclude software from running in enterprise environments. Today software must be free of critical and severe security vulnerabilities or they can't be run at all from Information Security policies. Enterprises today run security scan software to check for security and licensing vulnerabilities because today most organizations are using open source software where this has become most relevant. Forrester has a good summary on the need for software composition analysis tools which virtually all enterprises run today befor allowing software to run in production environments: https://www.blackducksoftware.com/sites/default/files/images/Downloads/Reports/USA/ForresterWave-Rpt.pdf
Solr version 6.5 passes security scans showing no critical security issues. Solr version 7 fails security scans with over a dozen critical and severe security vulnerabilities for Solr version from 7.1. Then we ran scans against the latest Solr version 7.6 which failed as well. Most of the issues are due to using old libraries including the JSON Jackson framework, Dom 4j and Xerces and should be easy to bring up to date. Only the latest version of SimpleXML has severe security vulnerabilities. Derby leads the most severe security violations at Level 9.1 by using an out of date version. What good is software or any features if enterprises can't run them? Today software cybersecurity is a top priority and risk for enterprises. Solr version 6.5 is very old exposing the zookeeper backend from the SolrJ client which is a differentiating capability. Is security and remediation a priority for SolrJ? I believe this should be a top feature to allow SolrJ to continue providing search features to enterprises and a security roadmap and plan to keep Solr secure and usable by continually adapting and improving in the ever changing security landscape and ecosystem. The Darby vulnerability issue CVE-2015-1832 was a passing medium Level 6.2 issue in CVSS 2.0 last year but is the most critical issue with Solr 7.6 at Level 9.1 in this year's CVSS 3.0. These changes need to be tracked and updates and fixes incorporated into new Solr versions. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-1832 On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 12:19 PM Bob Hathaway <robh32...@gmail.com> wrote: > Critical and Severe security vulnerabilities against Solr v7.1.
