DescriptionCVE.org

JFrog Artifactory could return an internal anonymous-user token to an unauthenticated caller when anonymous access is disabled, potentially exposing sensitive resources.

AnalysisAI

JFrog Artifactory exposes an internal anonymous-user token to unauthenticated callers even when anonymous access is explicitly disabled. Any network-reachable attacker can obtain this token and use it to access resources that should be protected behind authentication controls. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and zero authentication requirement make this a straightforward information-disclosure path against misconfigured or unpatched Artifactory instances.

Technical ContextAI

JFrog Artifactory is an artifact repository manager widely used in enterprise CI/CD pipelines. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): the server-side logic that governs anonymous access fails to suppress token issuance when anonymous access is administratively disabled. Rather than returning an authentication error, the endpoint returns an internal bearer token scoped to the anonymous user. This token may then be used to authenticate subsequent API calls, bypassing the intended access control gate. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:jfrog:artifactory:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Artifactory editions and versions, indicating the flaw is not version-range-limited in the available intelligence.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to apply the patched Artifactory release referenced in the JFrog self-managed release notes at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/artifactory-self-managed-releases - however, an exact fixed version number was not provided in the available intelligence and should be verified directly from the JFrog advisory at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/jfrog-security-advisories before patching. Patch available per vendor advisory. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict network access to Artifactory's API endpoints at the perimeter or load balancer layer so that only authenticated internal clients can reach the service; note this does not eliminate the flaw but reduces the exposure surface. Audit Artifactory access logs for unexpected anonymous-scoped API calls that may indicate prior exploitation. Do not rely on the 'anonymous access disabled' configuration setting alone as a control, as this CVE demonstrates that setting is insufficiently enforced.
