Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java application that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Solr running on the remote host is at least 7.4.0 through 7.7.3 or 8.0.0 through 8.11.0. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to using a bundled version of the Apache Log4J library vulnerable to RCE. For full impact and additional detail consult the Log4J security page.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Solr version 8.11.1 or later.
