Apache Solr Remains Vulnerable to Zero Day Remote Code...

Apache Solr Remains Vulnerable to Zero Day Remote Code Execution Flaw

Late last month, a proof of concept (PoC) for a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Velocity Response Writer plugin in Apache Solr, a popular open-source search platform built on Apache Lucene, was published as a GitHub Gist. A few days later, an exploit script was published to a GitHub repository. Our research teams have confirmed Apache Solr versions 7.7.2 through 8.3 (the most current release) are vulnerable to this flaw, and we suspect older versions that include the Config API are potentially vulnerable. 

For more details about the vulnerability, including mitigation, please visit our blog.

    Interesting post. ​Any update on when a plugin will be released for this?

      Hi @Bryan Jones​,

      A plugin is expected to be released within the next day. There is a link on the blog to the plugin search page, which currently shows no results. There should be a result by tomorrow. For reference, here's the link.

      Regards,

      Satnam
