Apache Solr 5.3.x < 5.3.2 Authentication Bypass

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9073

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java application that is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

Versions of Apache Solr 5.3.x prior to 5.3.2 are affected by a authentication bypass flaw. This flaw exists due to the basic auth plugin failing to enforce credential requirements for authentication mechanisms. This may allow a remote attacker to bypass intended restrictions on the unauthenticated execution of certain actions.

Solution

Upgrade to Solr 5.4.0 or later. If 5.4.x cannot be obtained, 5.3.2 has also been patched for this vulnerability.
