HIGH EXPLOITED NUCLEI

Apache Solr: Enabling BasicAuth using bin/solr CLI configures additional insecure users

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

CVE-2026-44825 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV). EIP tracks 2 public exploits from researchers including gagaltotal, shinthink. A Nuclei detection template is also available.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a Go-based scanner for detecting Apache Solr instances vulnerable to CVE-2026-44825, a Velocity Template Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. The tool checks for vulnerable versions, authentication requirements, and includes functionality to test RCE via crafted Velocity template payloads, but does not automatically execute malicious actions.

Description

Hardcoded credentials in the Basic Authentication setup tool (bin/solr auth enable) in Apache Solr versions 9.4.0 through 9.10.1 and 10.0.0 allows a remote attacker to gain full administrative access to the cluster via publicly known default credentials installed silently alongside the user-specified account. As an immediate workaround without upgrading, delete the template users (superadmin, admin, search, index) from security.json or change their passwords. The future, not yet released, versions 9.11.0 and 10.1.0 will not be vulnerable, and it will be enough to upgrade to solve the issue. Not affected: * Clusters where bin/solr auth enable was not used to bootstrap BasicAuth * Clusters where template users have been assigned strong passwords after bootstrap
