Hi all, This is a call for a vote to release Apache Pinot 1.5.1 RC0.
1.5.1 is a security patch release cut from the 1.5.0 tag. It bumps four dependencies to close the critical/high CVEs reported in https://github.com/apache/pinot/issues/18593: - netty 4.1.122.Final -> 4.1.134.Final (CVE-2025-55163, CVE-2025-59419, CVE-2026-33870, CVE-2026-33871, CVE-2026-42579, CVE-2026-42583, CVE-2026-42584, CVE-2026-42587) - log4j-core 2.25.3 -> 2.26.0 (CVE-2026-34478, CVE-2026-34479, CVE-2026-34480, CVE-2026-34481) - async-http-client 3.0.7 -> 3.0.10 (CVE-2026-45300) - httpclient5 5.6 -> 5.6.1 (CVE-2026-40542) Known exception: the Jetty CVE-2026-2332 (request smuggling) is NOT addressed in this release. The Jetty 9.4.x branch is end-of-life with no patch available (advisory GHSA-355h-qmc2-wpwf; only Jetty 12.0.33/12.1.7 are fixed). Jetty here is a managed dependency for the optional Hadoop/Spark/Pulsar plugins only -- Pinot's own HTTP layer uses Grizzly/Jersey -- and closing the CVE requires a Jetty 9->12 migration, which is out of scope for a patch release.
