Description David Jorm 2013-11-29 06:16:41 UTC

It was found that the DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler class in Apache Solr would resolve external entities, permitting XXE attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
