James Frank commented on SOLR-3419:
-----------------------------------
Just an agreement that this should be resolved and SOLR should be sanitize the
json.wrf callback. We are facing an issue where this vulnerability was pulled
up in a security scan and we will need to implement external sanitization
through a proxy in order to resolve it. This is really something that should be
happening internally.

> Key: SOLR-3419
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3419
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Response Writers
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Prafulla Kiran
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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 -
