9.1 CRITICAL

REST API has no authorization so a remote attacker reaches it unauthenticated (PR:N/AC:L); it can read job data (C:H) and shut down jobs/resources (A:H), with no direct data-tampering primitive (I:N).

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Missing authorization in the Apache Nutch Server (Nutch REST API) lets remote unauthenticated attackers read crawl data and interrupt or shut down running crawl jobs and their backing resources across Nutch 1.10 through 1.22. Because the REST API ships without access control, anyone able to reach the service can invoke management operations. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a running Apache Nutch Server / Nutch REST API instance (started explicitly via bin/nutch startserver - not launched in a default Nutch install) that is network-reachable by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals conflict on how urgent this is. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Nutch 1.23, which resolves the issue by removing the Nutch Server component altogether - plan for the loss of REST-based job orchestration and migrate any automation that depended on it to the CLI/crawl scripts. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all Nutch instances running versions 1.10-1.22 and implement network access controls (firewall, VPN, or private subnet isolation) to block external REST API access. …
