[CVE-2021-27905] Apache Solr ReplicationHandler Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Hit Counter
Apache Solr (stands for Searching On Lucene with Replication) is a free, open-source search engine based on the Apache Lucene library. Written in Java. Apache Solr has RESTful XML/HTTP and JSON APIs and client libraries for many programming languages such as Java, Phyton, Ruby, C#, PHP, and many more being used to build search-based and big data analytics applications for websites, databases, files, etc.
Apache Solr all versions prior to 8.8.2 (7.0.0 to 7.7.3 and 8.0.0 to 8.8.1) are vulnerable to Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. Successfully exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to unauthorized actions or access to data within the organization, either in the vulnerable application itself or on other backend systems that the application can communicate with.
The ReplicationHandler (normally registered at /replication under a Solr core) 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 vulnerability getting fixed, it did not.
Proof of Concept (PoC): In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker has to know the core name on Apache Solr. That's why the following request can be used for determining core name/names.

After determined core names, just select one of these and make a request to this endpoint: /solr/{core_name}/replication/?command=fetchindex&masterUrl={ssrf_here}
