The version of Apache Solr running on the remote host is at least 5.0.0 and prior to 8.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in VelocityResponseWriter due to a flaw in the velocity template parameter. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of Apache Solr.
