CVE-2015-8797

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Solr versions prior to 5.3.1

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This is achieved via the entry parameter to a plugins/cache URI in the stats page of the Admin UI.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.3.1, update to version 5.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugins/cache URI in the Admin UI to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the entry parameter in the affected URI until the issue is resolved.
