## Affected packages

- `org.apache.solr:solr-core` (Maven): affected `>=6.0.0, <8.11.3 || >=9.0.0, <9.3.0`; fixed in `8.11.3`, `9.3.0`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Apache Solr solr-core versions 6.0.0 through 8.11.2 and 9.0.0 before 9.3.0 can expose sensitive Java system properties, such as basicauth and aws.secretKey, through the /admin/info/properties endpoint. Only users logged in with the config-read permission can reach this endpoint on Solr Clouds with authorization enabled, and they can then see the exposed credentials on the Admin UI home screen. Upgrade to solr-core 8.11.3 or 9.3.0. Users who cannot upgrade can set the Java system property solr.redaction.system.pattern to a pattern matching password, secret, and basicauth.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-3hwc-rqwp-v36q>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
