The authoritative guide on implementing security is in the Solr Reference Guide. This page describes security features in general, but also provides information about CVEs that have been patched or dependencies which do not require a patch for Solr.

Security Announcements

Warning

If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability in Lucene or Solr, please follow these ASF guidelines for reporting it.

...

  • SSL support was added in version 4.2 (SolrCloud v4.7).
  • Protection of Zookeeper content through ACLs was added in version 5.0
  • Authentication and Authorization plugin support was added in 5.2 (SolrCloud only).
    • Several bugs in this support were fixed in 5.3, so it's strongly recommended to use 5.3 or later if this feature is desired. The general recommendation is to always use the latest released version.
  • Basic Auth & Kerberos plugins and Rule-based Authorization plugin was added in 5.3

There is (as of 5.3) no role-based restrictions on the Admin UI, so be aware that anyone with access to Admin UI will be able to do anything with your system.

...

  1. Some number of "good guys" have direct access to that Solr instance from their web browsers.
  2. A "bad guy" knows/guesses the host:port/path of the Solr instance (even though they can not access it directly)
  3. The bad guy can trick one of the good guy into clicking a maliciously crafted URL, or loading a webpage that contains malicious javascript.

This is because Solr's most basic behavior is to receive updates and deletes via HTTP. If you have a firewall or other security measure restricting Solr's /update handler so it only accepts connections from approved hosts/clients, but you are approved then you could inadvertently be tricked into loading a web page that initiates an HTTP Connection to Solr on your behalf.

...

It works by adding security tokens from the source repositories as metadata on the indexed documents. Then, at query time, a Search Component adds a filter to all queries, matching only documents the logged-in user is allowed to see. ManifoldCF supports AD security out of the box.

Status & Notes

7.3.1-7.5.0

tika-core.1.17.jar (and earlier)

2018-1335

Solr does not run tika-server, so this is not a problem.

tika-core.1.17.jar (and earlier)

2018-1338, 2018-1339

6 Jun 2018

These issues would only be exploitable if untrusted files are indexed with SolrCell. This is not recommended in production systems as indicated above. Additionally, Solr upgraded to Tika 1.18 in Solr 7.4.

4.7.0-7.3.1

jackson-databind-2.5.4.jar (and earlier)

2017-15095, 2017-17485, 2017-7525, 2018-5968, 2018-7489

2017-14952

hadoop-auth-2.7.4.jar, hadoop-hdfs-2.7.4.jar (all Hadoop)

commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar

2014-0114

6 Jun 2018

This is only used at compile time and it cannot be used to attack Solr. Since it is generally unnecessary, the dependency has been removed as of 7.5.0.
