 If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability in Solr, you may first want to consult the [list of known false positives](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/SolrSecurity#SolrSecurity-SolrandVulnerabilityScanningTools) to make sure you are reporting a real vulnerability.

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   Solr depends on lots of other open-source software -- "dependencies".  If a CVE is published (a publicly identified vulnerability) against one of them, the Solr project will review it to see if it's actually exploitable in Solr -- usually they aren't.  The non-exploitable vulnerabilities are published [on this Confluence page](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/SolrSecurity#SolrSecurity-SolrandVulnerabilityScanningTools).  If you don't see a CVE there, ask us about it.
   ```

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   The Solr PMC will not accept the output of a vulnerability scan as a security report.
   The main problem scanning tools have is that they doesn't know which vulnerabilities have been deemed non-exploitable based on how Solr (or other software) use them.
   Consult the list above.
