CVE-2020-13957: Incorrect Authorization in Apache Solr

February 10, 2022 (updated March 17, 2025)

Apache Solr versions 6.6.0 to 6.6.6, 7.0.0 to 7.7.3 and 8.0.0 to 8.6.2 prevents some features considered dangerous (which could be used for remote code execution) to be configured in a ConfigSet that’s uploaded via API without authentication/authorization. The checks in place to prevent such features can be circumvented by using a combination of UPLOAD/CREATE actions. This issue is patched in 8.6.3.
