Solr versions 7.4.0 to 7.7.3 and 8.0.0 to 8.11.0 is affected by the critical log4j library vulnerability and should be upgraded to 8.11.1 as soon as the new version is released.

  • if using Prometheus Exporter adding JAVA_OPTS=”$JAVA_OPTS -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true” to the solr-exporter script
