Synopsis

Apache Solr 3.6.0 < 4.1.0 XML External Entity

Description

Apache Solr versions 3.6.0 < 4.1.0 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via the 'UpdateRequestHandler' by injecting XML data containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with a valid entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue

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

Solution

Update to Apache Solr version 4.1.0 or latest.
