CVE-2019-0193: Apache Solr DataImportHandler Code Injection Vulnerability
- Severity: high (CVSS 7.2 v3.1)
- Exploited in the wild: yes — in CISA KEV since 2021-12-10
- EPSS: 83.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
- Public exploit or detection template: yes
- Published: 2019-08-01 · updated 2026-06-17
- Weakness: CWE-94
Description
In Apache Solr, the DataImportHandler, an optional but popular module to pull in data from databases and other sources, has a feature in which the whole DIH configuration can come from a request's "dataConfig" parameter. The debug mode of the DIH admin screen uses this to allow convenient debugging / development of a DIH config. Since a DIH config can contain scripts, this parameter is a security risk. Starting with version 8.2.0 of Solr, use of this parameter requires setting the Java System property "enable.dih.dataConfigParam" to true.
Affected products
- Apache Software Foundation Apache Solr: before 7.7.3; from 8.1.0 before 8.1.2 — fixed in 7.7.3, 8.1.2
- Debian Linux: 8.0, 9.0
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Solr 7.7.3, 8.1.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
