+Title: Apache Solr allows read access to host environment variables
+category: solr/security
+cve: CVE-2023-50290
+
+**Versions Affected:**
+Solr 9.0 to 9.2.1
+
+**Description:**
+Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in
Apache Solr.
+The Solr Metrics API publishes all unprotected environment variables available
to each Apache Solr instance.
+Users are able to specify which environment variables to hide, however, the
default list is designed to work for known secret Java system properties.
+Environment variables cannot be strictly defined in Solr, like Java system
properties can be, and may be set for the entire host, unlike Java system
properties which are set per-Java-process.
+
+The Solr Metrics API is protected by the "metrics-read" permission.
+Therefore, Solr Clouds with Authorization setup will only be vulnerable via
users with the "metrics-read" permission.
+
+**Mitigation:**
+Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.3.0 or later, in which
environment variables are not published via the Metrics API.
