What is CVE-2018-8010?

The vulnerability in Apache Solr relates to improper handling of XML external entities, enabling attackers to read arbitrary files from the server. This issue affects Solr configuration files (solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, managed-schema) and utilizes XInclude functionality, allowing malicious users to exploit file, FTP, or HTTP protocols.
