9.8 CRITICAL

Network-reachable REST API with no authorization and no auth/UI (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); unsafe reflection yields full code execution, so C:H/I:H/A:H.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote code execution in the Apache Nutch Server (Nutch REST API) affects versions 1.10 through 1.22, combining a missing authorization check with unsafe reflection that lets externally-controlled input select and instantiate arbitrary classes. Any attacker able to reach an exposed Nutch Server endpoint can invoke functionality and drive class loading without credentials, yielding full compromise of the host. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the optional Apache Nutch Server (Nutch REST API) is running and network-reachable by the attacker on an affected version (1.10-1.22); this component is not part of a minimal crawl-only deployment, so environments that never start the Nutch Server are not exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with full CIA impact, which is internally consistent with the described missing-authorization + unsafe-reflection RCE. … 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: version 1.23, which resolves the issue by removing the Nutch Server component altogether - upgrade to 1.23 and migrate any crawl-control workflows off the REST API. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Apache Nutch Server instances running versions 1.10 through 1.22 and immediately restrict network access to Nutch REST API endpoints using firewall rules, or disable the REST API entirely if not operationally critical. …
