Versions not affected

- Sitecore Managed Cloud customers who host Solr using SearchStax are not affected by the issue.
- Sitecore XP and Managed Cloud customers who do not use Solr are not impacted.
- The vulnerability does not impact the Azure Search engine.
Solution to fix it:
- Upgrade to
Solr 8.11.1
or greater (when available), which will include an updated version of the log4j2 dependency. - Manually update the version of log4j2 on your runtime classpath and restart your Solr application.
- (Windows) Edit your
solr.in.cmd
file to include:set SOLR_OPTS=%SOLR_OPTS% -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true
