CVE-2024-31391
Description
A vulnerability was found in Apache Solr Operator. When bootstraping Solr security, a couple of initial user accounts are created by default, including a "k8s-oper" account. This account is used by the operator to send requests to Solr, such as health checks. When one of the probes used by these requests fails and authentication is being used, the Solr Operator ends, creating a Kubernetes event containing the username and password of the "k8s-oper" account.
Statement
This vulnerability only affects solrcloud resources that use .solrOptions.security.authenticationType=basic and require authentication on probes by setting .solrOptions.security.probesRequireAuth=true
Mitigation
This issue can be mitigated by disabling authentication on the health check probes by setting the following configuration option:
.solrOptions.security.probesRequireAuth=false
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
Logging sensitive user data, full path names, or system information often provides attackers with an additional, less-protected path to acquiring the information.
