When using ConfigurableInternodeAuthHadoopPlugin for authentication, Apache Solr versions prior to 8.8.2 would forward/proxy distributed requests using server credentials instead of original client credentials.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
