It was found that Apache Lucene would accept an object from an unauthenticated user that could be manipulated through subsequent post requests. An attacker could use this flaw to assemble an object that could permit execution of arbitrary code if the server enabled Apache Solr’s Config API.
Mitigation
Until fixes are available, all Solr users are advised to restart their Solr instances with the system parameter -Ddisable.configEdit=true. This will disallow any changes to be made to configurations via the Config API. This is a key factor in this vulnerability, since it allows GET requests to add the RunExecutableListener to the config.
This is sufficient to protect from this type of attack, but means you cannot use the edit capabilities of the Config API until further fixes are in place.
