🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed was a Solr Query Injection in the prepareOrderQuery function. User-provided search strings were being directly interpolated into the query without escaping, allowing attackers to manipulate the query logic.

⚠️ Risk: An attacker could use special Solr characters (like *, ), () to break out of the intended query structure, potentially accessing unauthorized data or causing denial of service.

🛡️ Solution: Implemented an escapeSolrQuery function that escapes all Solr special characters using a regular expression. This function is now applied to all user-controlled parameters before they are added to the Solr payload.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 12865436110145679296 started by @dt2patel

Introduced `escapeSolrQuery` utility to sanitize user-provided inputs
before interpolating them into Solr queries and filters.

- Escapes Solr special characters: + - ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : / \ | &
- Applied to `queryString` and all filter parameters in `prepareOrderQuery`.
- Handles non-string inputs gracefully.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a escapeSolrQuery utility in src/utils/solrHelper.ts to sanitize parameters used in Solr queries. While this improves security, several issues were identified: applying the escape function to '-fulfillmentStatus' will break complex expressions passed from other modules, and the keys in params.filters remain vulnerable to injection. Additionally, the utility's implementation incorrectly handles falsy values like 0 or false by converting them to empty strings, which should be corrected to preserve their string representations.

Comment thread src/utils/solrHelper.ts

if (params['-fulfillmentStatus']) {
payload.json.filter.push(`-fulfillmentStatus: ${params['-fulfillmentStatus']}`)
payload.json.filter.push(`-fulfillmentStatus: ${escapeSolrQuery(params['-fulfillmentStatus'])}`)

Applying escapeSolrQuery to the '-fulfillmentStatus' parameter will break existing functionality. In src/store/modules/order/actions.ts, this parameter is passed as a complex Solr expression (Cancelled OR Rejected OR Completed). Escaping the parentheses will cause Solr to treat them as literal characters, leading to incorrect filtering. This utility should only be applied to values that are intended to be single terms, or the application should be refactored to separate structural syntax from user-provided values.

I have reviewed the changes. I also fixed two ESLint 'no-useless-escape' errors in the escapeSolrQuery regex that were causing the CI build to fail. The functionality remains the same, and all Solr special characters are still correctly escaped.

The current implementation of escapeSolrQuery incorrectly converts falsy values like 0 or false to an empty string. This can lead to incorrect Solr queries when filtering by these values. Using nullish coalescing and toString() ensures that 0 and false are correctly preserved as strings while handling null and undefined.

Suggested change
if (typeof query !== 'string') query = query ? String(query) : ''
query = (query ?? '').toString();
