CVE-2022-41398
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe optional Global Search feature for Sage 300 through version 2022 uses a set of hard-coded credentials for the accompanying Apache Solr instance. This issue could allow attackers to login to the Solr dashboard with admin privileges and access sensitive information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Global Search feature in Sage 300 versions through 2022 embeds hard-coded credentials for its bundled Apache Solr search engine instance. Attackers who discover these credentials can authenticate to the Solr admin dashboard with full administrative rights, enabling them to read search indexes containing potentially sensitive business data from the Sage 300 ERP system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Sage 300 versionCheck the installed Sage 300 version in the application or system information (typically found in Help > About or the installer information). Compare your version against the affected range: versions through 2022 (all versions <= 2022).Affected if The installed Sage 300 version is 2022 or earlier.
-
Verify Global Search is enabledCheck if the Global Search feature is installed and active. This may be visible in the Sage 300 module list, services running on the system, or the Solr service process is present.Affected if Global Search feature is installed and the associated Solr service is running.
-
Locate Solr configuration filesFind the Solr configuration directory bundled with Sage 300 Global Search. Common locations include the Sage application directory or a dedicated Solr folder within the Sage 300 installation path. Look for configuration files such as solr.xml, security.json, or related property files.Affected if Solr configuration files exist in the Sage 300 installation directory.
-
Inspect for hard-coded credentialsExamine the Solr configuration files for embedded username and password values. Search for fields like 'username', 'password', 'user', 'credentials', or Basic Auth configuration blocks. Check both XML and JSON configuration files.Affected if The configuration files contain plaintext or encoded credentials that appear to be shared across installations (hard-coded).
You are affected if Sage 300 version is 2022 or earlier, Global Search is enabled, and hard-coded credentials are found in the Solr configuration files.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataIf Global Search is not required, disable or remove the feature. Otherwise, change the hard-coded Solr credentials to strong, unique values and store them securely rather than embedding them in configuration files; verify that Sage 300 Global Search continues to function correctly after the credential change.
