CVE-2019-0193: Apache Solr DataImportHandler <8.2.0 - Remote Code Execution

2025-08-01 Apache Solr PoC Public

Description

Apache Solr is vulnerable to remote code execution vulnerabilities via the DataImportHandler, an optional but popular module to pull in data from databases and other sources. The module has a feature in which the whole DIH configuration can come from a request's "dataConfig" parameter. The debug mode of the DIH admin screen uses this to allow convenient debugging / development of a DIH config. Since a DIH config can contain scripts, this parameter is a security risk.

    Apache Solr is vulnerable to remote code execution vulnerabilities via the DataImportHandler, an optional but popular module to pull in data from databases and other sources. The module has a feature in which the whole DIH configuration can come from a request's "dataConfig" parameter. The debug mode of the DIH admin screen uses this to allow convenient debugging / development of a DIH config. Since a DIH config can contain scripts, this parameter is a security risk.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to remote code execution, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.
  remediation: |
    Starting with version 8.2.0 of Solr, use of this parameter requires setting the Java System property "enable.dih.dataConfigParam" to true.
