Overview

CVE-2024-52012 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting apache solr. It was published on January 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Solr.

Solr instances running on Windows are vulnerable to arbitrary filepath write-access, due to a lack of input-sanitation in the "configset upload" API. Commonly known as a "zipslip", maliciously constructed ZIP files can use relative filepaths to write data to unanticipated parts of the filesystem.

This issue affects Apache Solr: from 6.6 through 9.7.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.8.0, which fixes the issue. Users unable to upgrade may also safely prevent the issue by using Solr's "Rule-Based Authentication Plugin" to restrict access to the configset upload API, so that it can only be accessed by a trusted set of administrators/users.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from apache. Update solr to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

Affected Products
