The fix for CVE-2022-26336 comes in Apache POI version 5.2.1

org.apache.solr:solr-cell module bring in Apache POI.

Hence, posting a question to check whether updating Apache POI to 5.2.1 causes any regression in spring boot? Please let me know.

It seems you've already asked that to the Solr team, and their issue tracker is the right place for that. The Spring Boot team cannot guarantee dependency upgrades for a project that we're not involved with.
