[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-3419) XSS vulnerability in the json.wrf parameter

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3419?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15575505#comment-15575505 ] 

Shayne Urbanowski commented on SOLR-3419:
-----------------------------------------

I'm not sure that this is only related to the admin  UI.

My security scanning tool is detecting a vulnerability related to embedding a script tag in the json.wrf, callback, group, facet or _ parameters in Solr API requests.

> There's no filtering of the wrapper function name passed to the solr search service
> If the name of the wrapper function passed to the solr query service is the following string - 
> %3C!doctype%20html%3E%3Chtml%3E%3Cbody%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22x%22%20onerror=%22alert%281%29%22%3E%3C/body%3E%3C/html%3E
> solr passes the string back as-is which results in an XSS attack in browsers like IE-7 which perform mime-sniffing. In any case, the callback function in a jsonp response should always be sanitized - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2777021/do-i-need-to-sanitize-the-callback-parameter-from-a-jsonp-call
