Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Solr (solr-core) versions 5.5.0 before 5.5.5, 6.0.0 before 6.6.2, and 7.0.0 before 7.1.0 are vulnerable to remote code execution. An attacker who can send requests to Solr can chain an XML external entity flaw in the XML Query Parser with a Config API add-listener command that reaches RunExecutableListener. Upgrade to solr-core 5.5.5, 6.6.2, 7.1.0, or later.
