> A lot of security questions arise from various options to add custom libraries via a {{{}solrconfig.xml{}}}. When using the recommended solr auth plugin, a user requires the {{config-edit}} permission to edit this file. And custom libraries will only be used when the solrconfig is trusted by Solr.
> Right now the  [config-edit permission documentation|https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/9_1/deployment-guide/rule-based-authorization-plugin.html#predefined-permissions] does not explicitly spell out that the permission gives users the ability to install any custom library to Solr. We should fix this to reduce confusion around RCEs.
> With our antora docs, I suggest we backport this documentation change to 9.0 and 9.1, and also update 8.11 for the next patch release.
