Description
The extension passes the user-supplied search query parameter to Apache Solr without restricting advanced Solr query syntax such as wildcards, field selectors and range queries. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can use this syntax to enumerate indexed field names and extract their stored values through boolean- and range-based blind extraction techniques, independent of any site-specific configuration.

Impact

The TYPO3 extension Apache Solr for TYPO3 – Enterprise Search forwards user‑supplied search queries straight to an Apache Solr instance without filtering advanced query syntax. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject wildcards, field selectors, and range queries that enumerate indexed field names and, using Boolean and range‑based blind extraction techniques, read stored values. The weakness falls under CWE-943 and results in the unintended disclosure of internal data such as field contents that should remain confidential.

Affected Systems

TYPO3 users employing the Apache Solr for TYPO3 – Enterprise Search extension are vulnerable. No specific product versions were enumerated in the advisory, so any deployment that includes this extension may be affected until a fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability. The exploit requires only a remote HTTP request to the Solr search endpoint and does not need authentication or privileged access. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker could use publicly available client tools or craft custom requests to trigger the information‑disclosure logic; once the query syntax is exploited, the amount of data that can be extracted depends on the Solr schema and the fields exposed, making this a potentially valuable target.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install or upgrade to the latest patched version of the Apache Solr for TYPO3 – Enterprise Search extension that removes the unfiltered query forwarding.
  • If a patch is not yet available, modify the extension configuration or code to reject or strip advanced Solr syntax such as wildcards, field selectors, and range queries before the request is sent to Solr.
  • Enable input validation on the search query parameter, allowing only a safe set of characters or patterns that do not trigger Solr query operators.
  • Consider disabling the extension if the search functionality is not required, or restrict access to it with appropriate authentication and authorization controls.
