Vulnerability Intelligence

Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks when proxying requests between nodes. Key functions involved would be:
- The request dispatcher (SolrDispatchFilter) that routes requests without authorization
- The authorization plugin that is bypassed
- Collection handlers that process proxied operations
Though exact patch details are unavailable, the vulnerability description explicitly states that proxied requests bypass RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin checks. The functions above represent the most likely execution path where authorization should be applied but wasn't in vulnerable versions. Confidence is medium due to inference from architectural patterns rather than direct patch analysis.
