Apache · Apache Solr · CVE-2020-13957
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Solr versions 6.6.0 through 6.6.6
Apache Solr versions 7.0.0 through 7.7.3
Apache Solr versions 8.0.0 through 8.6.2
**Description**
The issue 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. However, the checks in place to prevent such features can be circumvented by using a combination of UPLOAD/CREATE actions.
**Recommendations**
For Apache Solr versions 6.6.0 through 6.6.6, update to a version newer than 8.6.2.
For Apache Solr versions 7.0.0 through 7.7.3, update to a version newer than 8.6.2.
For Apache Solr versions 8.0.0 through 8.6.2, update to version 8.6.3 or newer.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the API to minimize the risk of exploitation.
