CVE-2018-11802: Apache Solr authorization bug disclosure Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Apache Solr 7.6 or less Description: jira ticket : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12514 In apache Solr the cluster can be partitioned into multiple collections and only a subset of nodes actually host any given collection. However, if a node receives a request for a collection it does not host, it proxies the request to a relevant node and serves the request. Solr bypasses all authorization settings for such requests. This affects all Solr versions that uses the default authorization mechanism of Solr (RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin) Mitigation: A fix is provided in Solr 7.7 version and upwards. If you use Solr's authorization mechanism, please upgrade to a version newer than Solr 7.7. Credit: This issue was discovered by Mahesh Kumar Vasanthu Somashekar.
