Synopsis

Apache Solr 8.1.1 < 8.3.0 Remote Code Execution

Description

CVE-2019-12409 is a flaw in the default configuration of the solr.in.sh file in Apache Solr. If this file is used in its default configuration in versions 8.1.1 and 8.2.0, unauthenticated access to the Java Management Extensions (JMX) monitoring on the RMI_PORT (default 18983) is allowed. Anyone with access to a vulnerable Solr server, and, in turn, JMX, could upload malicious code that could then be executed.

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 8.3.0 or latest.
