- Severity: critical (CVSS 9.8 v3.1)
- Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
- EPSS: 93.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
- Public exploit or detection template: yes
- Published: 2021-04-13 · updated 2026-06-17
- Weakness: CWE-918
Description
The ReplicationHandler (normally registered at "/replication" under a Solr core) in Apache Solr has a "masterUrl" (also "leaderUrl" alias) parameter that is used to designate another ReplicationHandler on another Solr core to replicate index data into the local core. To prevent a SSRF vulnerability, Solr ought to check these parameters against a similar configuration it uses for the "shards" parameter. Prior to this bug getting fixed, it did not. This problem affects essentially all Solr versions prior to it getting fixed in 8.8.2.
Affected products
- Apache Software Foundation Apache Solr: before 8.8.2 — fixed in 8.8.2
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Solr 8.8.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
