Apache Solr Search - Moderately Critical - Access Bypass - SA-CONTRIB-2015-170

• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-170
• Project: Apache Solr Search (third-party module)
• Version: 6.x, 7.x
• Date: 2015-December-02
• Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Proof/TD:Default
• Vulnerability: Access bypass

Description

This module enables you to connect to an Apache Solr search server to provide a replacement for Drupal core content search and provide both extra features and better search performance and relevance.

The module doesn't correctly check access when attempting to delete non-default search environments.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site must have a non-default environment configured and an attacker must discover the ID of the environment.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

• Apache Solr Search 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.1.
