CVE-2023-50291
Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in Apache Solr.
This issue affects Apache Solr: from 6.0.0 through 8.11.2, from 9.0.0 before 9.3.0. One of the two endpoints that publishes the Solr process' Java system properties, /admin/info/properties, was only setup to hide system properties that had "password" contained in the name. There are a number of sensitive system properties, such as "basicauth" and "aws.secretKey" do not contain "password", thus their values were published via the "/admin/info/properties" endpoint. This endpoint populates the list of System Properties on the home screen of the Solr Admin page, making the exposed credentials visible in the UI.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
This /admin/info/properties endpoint is protected under the "config-read" permission. Therefore, Solr Clouds with Authorization enabled will only be vulnerable through logged-in users that have the "config-read" permission. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.3.0 or 8.11.3, which fixes the issue. A single option now controls hiding Java system property for all endpoints, "-Dsolr.hiddenSysProps". By default all known sensitive properties are hidden (including "-Dbasicauth"), as well as any property with a name containing "secret" or "password".
Users who cannot upgrade can also use the following Java system property to fix the issue: '-Dsolr.redaction.system.pattern=.*(password|secret|basicauth).*'

"value": "Vulnerabilidad de credenciales insuficientemente protegidas en Apache Solr. Este problema afecta a Apache Solr: desde 6.0.0 hasta 8.11.2, desde 9.0.0 antes de 9.3.0. Uno de los dos endpoints que publica las propiedades del sistema Java del proceso Solr, /admin/info/properties, solo se configuró para ocultar las propiedades del sistema que tenían \"password\" en el nombre. Hay una serie de propiedades confidenciales del sistema, como \"basicauth\" y \"aws.secretKey\" que no contienen \"password\", por lo que sus valores se publicaron a través del endpoint \"/admin/info/properties\". Este endpoint completa la lista de System Properties en la pantalla de inicio de la página de administración de Solr, lo que hace que las credenciales expuestas sean visibles en la interfaz de usuario. Este endpoint /admin/info/properties está protegido bajo el permiso \"config-read\". Por lo tanto, las nubes Solr con autorización habilitada solo serán vulnerables a través de usuarios registrados que tengan el permiso \"config-read\". Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 9.3.0 u 8.11.3, que soluciona el problema. Una única opción ahora controla la ocultación de la propiedad del sistema Java para todos los endpoints, \"-Dsolr.hiddenSysProps\". De forma predeterminada, todas las propiedades confidenciales conocidas están ocultas (incluido \"-Dbasicauth\"), así como cualquier propiedad cuyo nombre contenga \"secret\" o \"password\". Los usuarios que no pueden actualizar también pueden utilizar la siguiente propiedad del sistema Java para solucionar el problema: '-Dsolr.redaction.system.pattern=.*(password|secret|basicauth).*'"
