CRITICAL 9.4

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability in the task management component of Sonatype Nexus Repository versions 3.22.1 through 3.90.2 allows an authenticated attacker with task creation permissions to execute arbitrary code, bypassing the nexus.scripts.allowCreation security control.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Sonatype Nexus Repository 3.22.1-3.90.2 allows authenticated attackers with task creation permissions to execute arbitrary code via unsafe deserialization in the task management component. Exploitation bypasses the nexus.scripts.allowCreation security control, granting unauthorized code execution on the server. CVSS 9.4 (Critical). No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Attack requires low-privileged authentication (PR:L) and network access but no user interaction.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-502 deserialization flaw in task management permits malicious serialized object injection during task creation. Attack vector bypasses nexus.scripts.allowCreation configuration control, which normally restricts script execution. Unsafe deserialization enables arbitrary Java code execution within Nexus Repository runtime context, compromising server integrity and confidentiality.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Sonatype Nexus Repository 3.91.0 or later, which addresses the deserialization vulnerability per official release notes (https://help.sonatype.com/en/sonatype-nexus-repository-3-91-0-release-notes.html). Review task creation permissions and restrict to trusted administrators only. Audit existing scheduled tasks for unauthorized entries. Consult vendor advisory for additional security hardening guidance: https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/50615414548499. No workaround exists; upgrading is the definitive remediation.
