This vulnerability in Apache Solr 1.2 to 6.6.2 and 7.0.0 to 7.2.1 relates to an XML external entity expansion (XXE) in the `&dataConfig=<inlinexml>` parameter of Solr's DataImportHandler. It can be used as XXE using file/ftp/http protocols in order to read arbitrary local files from the Solr server or the internal network.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - This vulnerability in Apache Solr 1.2 to 6.6.2 and 7.0.0 to 7.2.1 relates to an XML external entity     expansion (XXE) in the `&dataConfig=<inlinexml>` parameter of Solr's DataImportHandler. It can be used as     XXE using file/ftp/http protocols in order to read arbitrary local files from the Solr server or the     internal network. (CVE-2018-1308)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

  - This vulnerability in Apache Solr 1.2 to 6.6.2 and 7.0.0 to 7.2.1 relates to an XML external entity
    expansion (XXE) in the `&dataConfig=<inlinexml>` parameter of Solr's DataImportHandler. It can be used as
    XXE using file/ftp/http protocols in order to read arbitrary local files from the Solr server or the
    internal network. (CVE-2018-1308)

This vulnerability in Apache Solr 1.2 < 6.6.2 and 7.0.0 < 7.2.1 relates to an XML external entity expansion (XXE) in the `&dataConfig=<inlinexml>` parameter of Solr's DataImportHandler. It can be used as XXE using file/ftp/http protocols in order to read arbitrary local files from the Solr server.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An XML external entity expansion vulnerability was discovered in the DataImportHandler of Solr, a search server based on Lucene, which could result in information disclosure.

It was discovered that there was an XML external entity expansion (XXE) vulnerability in lucene-solr, a search engine library for Java.

It could be exploited to read arbitrary local files from the Solr server or the internal network. For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in lucene-solr version 3.6.0+dfsg-1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your lucene-solr packages.
