Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a specific, non-default deployment configuration: multiple TYPO3 sites must share a single Apache Solr core rather than each site operating its own isolated core - this is the AT:P prerequisite in the CVSS 4.0 vector. The additionalFilters HTTP parameter must be accepted by the TYPO3 frontend without sanitization, which is the default EXT:solr behavior. The suggest top-results path is exploitable as a secondary vector only when the suggest feature is explicitly enabled in EXT:solr configuration. No authentication is required (PR:N), and no victim user interaction is needed beyond the attacker's own crafted request (UI:N). Exploitation is fully mitigated for any TYPO3 installation using per-site dedicated Solr cores. Impact is also bounded: only documents already publicly indexed in the shared Solr core are exposed; private, access-restricted, or non-indexed TYPO3 content is not reachable through this vulnerability.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.3 (Medium) reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated vector (AV:N, PR:N) constrained by high attack complexity (AC:H) and a specific deployment prerequisite (AT:P): the target must run multiple TYPO3 sites sharing a single Solr core, which is a non-default but operationally common pattern in managed and multi-tenant hosting environments. The impact is bounded to low confidentiality (VC:L) - only public, already-indexed documents from a co-located site are reachable; no integrity or availability degradation is possible. No EPSS score was provided in source data, and the CVE carries no CISA KEV listing and no identified POC, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. The practical risk is a multi-tenancy data boundary violation: operators running isolated single-site Solr deployments are entirely unaffected, while multi-site shared-core deployments face a meaningful, zero-authentication leakage path bounded only by what is publicly indexed. Shared-hosting providers and enterprises running multi-site TYPO3 on a common Solr core should prioritize remediation despite the medium score, given the absence of any authentication barrier once the deployment prerequisite is met.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated visitor to TYPO3 Site A crafts an HTTP search request containing an additionalFilters parameter that pre-registers a siteHash value corresponding to TYPO3 Site B, which shares the same Solr core. Because the query builder does not overwrite the pre-registered named filter, the system-applied siteHash for Site A is ignored, and the Solr response returns publicly indexed documents belonging to Site B. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the mechanics are straightforward once an attacker confirms the shared-core deployment through response content or error messages.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 25, 2026

Filter injection in the EXT:solr (Apache Solr for TYPO3 - Enterprise Search) extension enables unauthenticated visitors to bypass per-site document isolation on shared Solr cores, exposing public search-indexed content belonging to adjacent TYPO3 site installations. The flaw exists because user-supplied additionalFilters request parameters can pre-register a named siteHash filter that the query builder then refuses to overwrite, undermining the multi-tenancy boundary the extension relies upon for site separation. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is gated on a specific shared-core deployment pattern; no active exploitation is confirmed.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade EXT:solr to the patched version specified in the TYPO3 security advisory at https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-ext-sa-2026-025; exact fixed version numbers are not independently available in the CVE data and must be confirmed from that advisory before deployment. As an architectural compensating control prior to patching, operators can migrate each TYPO3 site to a dedicated, isolated Solr core, which eliminates the shared-core prerequisite (AT:P) entirely and removes the attack surface at the infrastructure level, though this increases Solr infrastructure overhead. If the suggest feature is not required, disabling it in EXT:solr configuration removes the secondary top-results attack path without affecting core search functionality. Blocking or stripping the additionalFilters request parameter at a WAF or reverse proxy is a viable short-term mitigation; however, the exact parameter syntax should be confirmed against the advisory to avoid inadvertently breaking legitimate search filter functionality that may depend on that parameter.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in the EXT:solr extension for TYPO3 CMS (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:typo3:extension_"apache_solr_for_typo3_-_enterprise_search":*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which integrates Apache Solr as a structured search backend. TYPO3 installations sharing a single Solr core across multiple sites rely on a siteHash filter to partition search results per site. Classified under CWE-943 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic), the root cause is that the extension exposes an additionalFilters HTTP parameter to end users without blocking named-filter registration - specifically the siteHash name. Because the Solr query builder honors the first registration of a named filter and will not overwrite it, an attacker-controlled additionalFilters value can inject a permissive or cross-site siteHash filter before the legitimate one is applied by the system. The same code path is reachable through the suggest top-results endpoint when the suggest feature is enabled, making that a secondary attack surface with the identical root cause.

DescriptionCVE.org

The extension allows a request-provided additionalFilters parameter to register a named siteHash filter before the system's own siteHash filter is applied, and the query builder does not overwrite an already-registered named filter. In a shared Solr core serving multiple TYPO3 sites, a visitor can use this to read public documents belonging to another site. The same root cause also affects the suggest top-results path when suggest is enabled.

Attack Technique

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

NoSQL injection exploits databases that don't use traditional SQL syntax-like MongoDB, CouchDB, or Redis-by manipulating queries through unsanitized user input.
