5.0 MEDIUM

Network-reachable endpoint exploitable by low-privilege users; scope change to subsequent systems captures internal SSRF pivot; no confidentiality or integrity impact on the Nexus host itself.

DescriptionCVE.org

Nexus Repository 3 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the SSL Certificate Retrieval endpoint. A user holding the nexus:ssl-truststore:read permission could cause the server to initiate outbound connections to internal or otherwise restricted network hosts. This issue affects Nexus Repository 3.0.0 through versions prior to 3.94.0.

AnalysisAI

Server-Side Request Forgery in Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 exposes internal network infrastructure to authenticated users holding the nexus:ssl-truststore:read permission, who can weaponize the SSL Certificate Retrieval endpoint to force the server to initiate outbound TCP connections to arbitrary hosts - including cloud metadata services, internal APIs, and otherwise firewalled systems. All versions from 3.0.0 up to (but not including) 3.94.0 are affected, and a vendor-released patch is available. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Nexus session with the nexus:ssl-truststore:read permission explicitly granted - this is not a default permission for all users and is typically restricted to administrators or security operators managing the trust store. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms this is network-exploitable with low complexity and no attack prerequisites beyond holding the nexus:ssl-truststore:read permission - substantially limiting the exposed population to users who have been explicitly granted that role. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a Nexus account holding the nexus:ssl-truststore:read permission submits a crafted request to the SSL Certificate Retrieval endpoint targeting an internal host - for example, the AWS EC2 instance metadata service at 169.254.169.254 or an internal Kubernetes API server. The Nexus server initiates a TCP connection and returns connection results or certificate data from the internal target, allowing the attacker to enumerate internal services, harvest cloud credentials from metadata endpoints, or map the internal network without needing direct network access to those hosts. …
Remediation Upgrade Sonatype Nexus Repository to version 3.94.0 or later, as documented in the official release notes at https://help.sonatype.com/en/sonatype-nexus-repository-3-94-0-release-notes.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
