Apache Solr Backup/Restore APIs RCE
Description
Apache Solr from 6.0.0 through 8.11.2, from 9.0.0 before 9.4.1 is affected by an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability which can result in remote code execution in the context of the user running Apache Solr. When Apache Solr creates a Collection, it will use a specific directory as the classpath and load some classes from it. The backup function of the Collection can export malicious class files uploaded by attackers to the directory, allowing Solr to load custom classes and create arbitrary Java code. Execution can further bypass the Java sandbox configured by Solr, ultimately causing arbitrary command execution.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
