Apache Solr < 5.5.4 Directory Traversal

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 98894

Language:

Synopsis

Apache Solr < 5.5.4 Directory Traversal

Description

When using the Index Replication feature, Apache Solr nodes can pull index files from a master/leader node using an HTTP API which accepts a file name. Solr versions < 5.5.4 and 6.x < 6.4.1 do not validate this file name allowing for a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access any file(s) readable by the Solr application.

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 5.5.4 or latest.
