TCP 8983

ProtocolTCP
Port8983
LabelsApache Solr

Synopsis

  • TCP port 8983 is the default HTTP port for Apache Solr (including SolrCloud), hosting its REST API and Admin UI.
  • Many platforms that embed Solr expose it on 8983 by default, such as Sitecore developer setups, SAP Commerce/Hybris search servers, CKAN, Drupal’s Search API Solr, Blacklight/Samvera stacks, Apache Nutch, and Cloudera Search deployments.
  • DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Search, which integrates Solr with Cassandra, also uses 8983 for the Solr HTTP endpoint.
  • Packaged distributions and containers (e.g., Bitnami Solr installers and the official Docker image “solr”) publish the service on 8983 out of the box.
  • This port is frequently probed because exposed Solr instances on 8983 have been exploited in the wild (e.g., CVE-2017-12629, CVE-2019-0193) and were targeted during the Log4Shell wave when running vulnerable Log4j.
