Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java application that is affected by a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Solr running on the remote web server is affected by a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize query histories before returning them to the user of the Solr administration panel. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a victim's browser, allowing the attacker to steal session information, log key strokes, and perform other malicious attacks.

Solution
