Apache Solr versions 5.0.0 through 8.3.1 contain a flaw in the VelocityResponseWriter plug-in that can lead to remote code execution through malicious Velocity templates. An attacker with network access and low privileges, specifically access to the configuration API or a user-uploaded configset, could supply a crafted template, and the exploit becomes possible when the parameter-provided template loader is enabled or a configset is untrusted, with high complexity required to succeed.

Apache Solr 5.0.0 to Apache Solr 8.3.1 are vulnerable to a Remote Code Execution through the VelocityResponseWriter. A Velocity template can be provided through Velocity templates in a configset `velocity/` directory or as a parameter. A user defined configset could contain renderable, potentially malicious, templates. Parameter provided templates are disabled by default, but can be enabled by setting `params.resource.loader.enabled` by defining a response writer with that setting set to `true`. Defining a response writer requires configuration API access. Solr 8.4 removed the params resource loader entirely, and only enables the configset-provided template rendering when the configset is `trusted` (has been uploaded by an authenticated user).
