Apache Solr 5.0.0 < 8.4.0 Remote Code Execution

Synopsis

Apache Solr 5.0.0 < 8.4.0 Remote Code Execution

Description

Apache Solr Versions 5.0.0 to 8.3.1 are vulnerable to a Remote Code Execution vulnerability via the VelocityResponseWriter method. A template may be provided in a configset '/velocity' directory or as a request paramter. A user defined configset may contain potentially malicious templates. Parameter provided templates are disabled by default, but can be enabled by setting `params.resource.loader.enabled` by defining a response writer with that setting set to `true`.

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 8.4.0 or latest.
